The last time I played a sweep shot was when I was about 19 years old. I have not played a sweep shot for the last 13-14 years since then. I have been practicing this shot for seven-ten days and I am very grateful that my plan worked. “
Credit given to the batting coach
Ashwin hit 14 fours and a six off 148 balls. He improved his batting and credited Vikram Rathore, the batting coach of the Indian team. He said, “We are practicing it with Vikram Rathore.
