When he was asked about three consecutive sixes by teammate Yuzvendra Chahal after match, he said that he wanted to hit six sixes in a row but decided to rotate strike after missing out on fourth delivery.

Chahal followed it up by asking him of requirements to hit such huge sixes for which Sharma replied jokingly that one doesn't need a huge body and muscles to hit big sixes. He revealed his secret saying that power was t only thing one needed to hit sixes as timing was equally important. ball should hit middle of bat and  head should be still. He added that re were a number of things one needed to do in order to hit a six.
