\"Abhishek<\/p>\n

After racing to a blistering century in the 10th over, the 26 year old brought out his trademark ‘Om’ celebration.<\/p>\n

There was no wild gesturing or twirling of the bat. Instead, Abhishek took off his helmet and calmly sat on the ground in a meditation pose chanting ‘Om’.<\/p>\n

The ‘Om’ meditation pose has become part of Abhishek’s off-field routine, which he believes has helped maintain inner peace and calm.<\/p>\n

He regularly posts photos of his meditation sessions on social media, captioning them with an ‘Om’ emoticon.<\/p>\n

‘Meditation really helped me a lot, so this celebration was for that. This is something which has helped me keep stable in the last six to eight months,’ he said.<\/p>\n
