Emphasizing the importance of a strong mindset, Sharma stressed that the mental aspect is crucial in how a player approaches the game. He encouraged gratitude for opportunities and urged players to focus on performing their roles for the team.
Despite the challenges faced by Krishna in his debut, Sharma recognized the nerves that come with a first game and underscored the ongoing learning process for the young bowler.
