West Indies legend Brian Lara has lauded Indian batting sensation Abhishek Sharma, calling him "something very special." Lara, who mentored Sharma at Sunrisers Hyderabad, highlighted the 23-year-old's impressive bat speed and his ambition to play Test cricket, setting him apart from his peers.

Abhishek Sharma’s rise, seen at the ongoing Asia Cup and even before, has been forged by discipline, patience, and fearless hitting. Guided by mentor Yuvraj Singh’s gruelling 4am routines and Brian Lara’s golf lessons, the young left-hander has transformed into a six-hitting machine. With 309 runs at a strike rate over 200 in the Asia Cup, he has become India’s most destructive batting force.
