He Hit 100. Then He Meditated · deccanchronicle.com

Abhishek Sharma scored 100 runs in a cricket match against Afghanistan.

This was a record-breaking performance in a T20I match.

After reaching 100, he took off his helmet and sat quietly in a meditation pose.

His father said Abhishek sees the cricket ground as a special place for thanking God.

Abhishek’s father was at the stadium but did not see the celebration live.

He later watched it on television and social media.

Abhishek’s mentor, Yuvraj Singh, has also helped him practice yoga and meditation.

India won all three matches in the series, and Abhishek received two awards.

“I am staying in another hotel. I never prefer to stay in the same hotel but at a different place. This avoids stress on Abhishek. I watch his matches and practice sessions from afar.”
