Speaking in a video shared on IPL's official social media handle, Abhishek said that his father was his first coach, and it was special for him to play a powerful knock in front of his parents.

"It was very special. My father has been coming to watch my matches since my Under-14 days. If you zoomed in on him during my innings, you'd see him signalling to me, telling me which shots to play - 'play this shot, play that shot'. He was my first coach. It's very special to have done this in front of my mother and father," Abhishek said.

The young batter also revealed that his father is still not satisfied since he wanted Abhishek to finish the game. The SRH batter said that there's still room for improvement and will keep working hard.

"I think it's my highest score in the IPL. My father keeps telling me to finish games, so he's still not satisfied. There's always room for improvement. I'll keep working hard," he added.
