The right-handed batter scored an unbeaten 66*(31) against LSG and helped DC chase 210. He felt that trying to hit every ball helps him to hit the ball as clean as possible."This way, your perfection improves, and then when you get a chance, you hit the ball cleanly. You need to put everything into your muscle memory, and that's how I work," Sharma added.

The emerging star spoke about having Pietersen as a mentor. He felt it was nice to learn lessons from someone who played a lot of cricket. Ashutosh claimed that asking questions to legends like Kevin helps his game.

"Yes, it feels great to spend time with them, and whenever they share something during the net session, it's really nice because they have been such great players and have played so much. It’s always great if they share their experiences with us. Discussing their thoughts and asking them any questions is truly amazing," the right-handed batter said.
