In yet another display of a power-hitting show, Abhishek Sharma wrote his name in the history books as India’s second-fastest T20 International has made it onto the records. His smashing knock at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium left the English bowling attack stuttering and made India dominate the series.
The Record-Breaking Innings
In the fifth and final T20I against England, Sharma smashed all around him with some bold strokes as he completed his century in just 46 balls. That is one run behind Rohit Sharma, who is on the record books for the fastest T20I century by an Indian, made in 35 balls against Sri Lanka in 2017.
Sharma’s innings was full of a never-ending attack on the bowlers, scoring 135 runs, and took India to a huge total of 247-9 in their given 20 overs.
England’s bowlers were left vulnerable against Sharma’s onslaught. Mark Wood and Brydon Carse, among others, struggled to check the run flow, though Carse was the most economical, taking 3 for 38. England in this chase faced an uphill task, with enormous contributions needed from the top-order batsmen to keep it in a competitive tie.
Sharma’s Journey to Form
Abhishek Sharma started brightly with a T20I century against Zimbabwe, only to flatter later. He shows significant promise by scoring a quick 20-ball half-century on the first day of the series against England. This is a return to a great form that would point out his capacity to be a part of India’s mainstay in T20 cricket.
This explosive century by Abhishek Sharma not only ensured a comprehensive win for India in the series but also highlighted his exceptional talent and resilience. As he continues to evolve as a cricketer, such performances bolster India’s prospects in the shortest format of the game and excite fans about the future of Indian cricket.
