On the other end was a Mumbai Cricket Association official with a simple question: “West Indies team ko bowl daalega?”Abhishek didn’t hesitate for a second. "Yes, sir, I am ready,” he replied instantly.“Kal aa jana 8 baje subah,” the official told him. Abhishek, one of Mumbai’s well-known side-arm throwdown specialists, has bowled to some of the biggest names in Indian cricket, including KL Rahul, Irfan Pathan and Sachin Tendulkar.
