NEW DELHI: Former India all-rounder
Yuvraj Singh
on Monday praised rising India star
Abhishek Sharma
on his maiden international century against
Zimbabwe
.
Riding on Abhishek's 46-ball ton India registered a commanding 100-run win over Zimbabwe in the second
T20I
of their five-match series in

His explosive innings left everyone in awe, as he took the opposition bowlers to the cleaners. Abhishek's knock was a testament to his ability to perform at the highest level and his potential to become a future star for his country.
"Rome wasn't built in a day! Congratulations @IamAbhiSharma4 on the journey to your first International 100! Many more to come," Yuvraj wrote on X.
After the second T20I, the

shared a video featuring a discussion between Abhishek and Yuvraj through a video call. Abhishek's mentor Yuvraj conveyed his admiration for the young player's accomplishment. He firmly believes that this century marks the start of a promising future for the gifted left-handed batsman.
The seasoned veteran's confidence in his protege's abilities underscores the significance of this milestone and the bright prospects that lie ahead for the rising star.
