Sharma's 108 (146b, 17x4, 1x6) was in complete contrast to his 141 in Mumbai's first essay. While he displayed his maturity to hang in there on a wicket with some life after Mumbai had lost four early wickets in the first innings, he played his natural game and hit the UP bowlers all over the park yesterday.
It looked as if the big stage of a Ranji final, with wickets falling regularly at the other end and all five national selectors watching from the gallery, did not curb the talented No 5 batsman's natural instincts. He went on a rampage on what appears to be a happy hunting ground for him. "That's how I always prefer to play," Sharma told MiD DAY. "And I am happy it came off well today."
