'Law Of Attraction...': Shikhar Dhawan On Smashing Fastest Test Century Record On Debut

Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan opened up on breaking the world record of fastest century on Test debut and winning the golden bat for most runs in two successive ICC Champions Trophy tournaments, saying that before he made it to the national side, he manifested these things and used to write them down in a journal. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Dhawan spoke on his Test debut against Australia in 2013. Dhawan had slammed an 85-ball ton, breaking the record for fastest Test ton on debut.

He ended with 187 in 174 balls, with 33 fours and two sixes, at a strike rate of 107.47, playing a key role in India's win. He also claimed the 'Player of the Match' award.

Speaking on evolving his game over the years, Dhawan said that he could do it because of his experience in domestic cricket, particularly the red-ball competition, Ranji Trophy.

"I played a lot of Ranji Trophy. I had experience from there. Then when I came to Test Match, I brought all that experience with me. Another thing which worked for me was... I used a lot of the law of attraction. I manifested a lot of things. I am a big manifester and I keep on manifesting things in my life and I turn my dreams into reality. I would say your mindset is more important than your destiny. How is your thinking? At what frequency are you vibrating? And... Are you your own best friend or a victim? Because a person talks to himself the most. So what quality do you talk about? That matters a lot. So I made a world record. Before that, all the things... Years before breaking into the team, I was keeping a journal. And I had written everything, that I am making world records and all that. I am the best batsman. Everything came true for me, Dhawan told ANI.
