In a video shared by Star Sports, Abhishek Sharma expressed that he had quit taking pressure two years ago as he felt the process was in his hands. He is also focusing on practice and training and has been increasing his momentum.

Abhishek Sharma then admitted that batters face ups and downs, but he has to decide to play with intent. He then boldly stated that in no way would he change his in-game process and mindset.  

"I just enjoy my batting. I have left taking pressure two years ago because I feel that the process is in my hands. Practice and training are what I am doing, which I should always keep doing, and which will keep increasing gradually. I enjoy this thing, so there is no such pressure.

“Obviously, batters always face ups and downs. Sometimes there are runs in an innings, sometimes there are not, but I feel personally, I have to decide at a certain point in time that I have to play like this, have to play with such intent. I may or may not succeed in it, but I will not change my process and my mindset,” Abhishek Sharma said in a video.
