Kohli, Shastri have given me confidence: Karn Sharma

“I just got to know this morning that I will be making my debut," said Sharma. "I had this confidence that I will get a chance sooner or later on this tour. But getting it in the first match itself is very good for me."
   
Talking about the confidence he gets from the team staff, he added, “Mentally and technically, Ravi Shastri helps a lot. All our support staff and coaches are also helping me.”
   
Sharma bowled decently for a debutant spinner on the day one at the Adelaide Oval's flat track. "Skipper Virat Kohli told me previously to bowl the way I bowl and he will give the field according to my strengths," he said.

Opting to bat first, the hosts finished at 354 for six on the first day. He finished with figures of 1-89 from 23 overs, taking the crucial wicket of centurion David Warner who scored his 10th Test hundred.
