India opener Abhinav Mukund said a piece of sage advice from his father and his ability to cope with short-pitched bowling have helped him on the current trip to the Caribbean. The left-hander scored 62 on Day 3 of the third Test against the West Indies here on Friday.
Mukund, playing in only his third Test, was relieved to pass 50 for the first time.
"I have played a lot on matting pitches while I was growing up. My dad always told me that a lot of deliveries in international cricket are short-pitched, so I practiced this a lot, and can play short bowling pretty well," said Mukund, who was obviously disappointed that he could not convert his half century into a hundred.
