Former India player Yuvraj Singh and young batter Abhishek Sharma's relationship go back a really long way.
Fans already know that both players come from Punjab which is known for producing great cricketers.
Over time Punjab has given many cricketers to India with the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Shubman Gill, and now Abhishek Sharma.
Yuvraj Singh is Abhishek Sharma's mentor and has always encouraged the left-hander to do well.
In the first T20I against England, Abhishek Sharma wreaked havoc with the bat as he smashed 79 off just 34 balls.
The Punjab-based batter delivered India's second-fastest fifty for India against England (in terms of balls faced) in the T20I format.
Earlier, Yuvraj held the record for scoring the fastest fifty, brought up in just 12 deliveries in Durban in 2007.
On the back of Abhishek Sharma’s innings, the Indian team chased down a paltry total of 133 runs with 43 balls to spare.
