Sharma took the English bowling attack to the cleaners at the Wankhede Stadium.
Opening the innings, the southpaw launched a brutal attack on the English bowlers right from the outset. He reached his half-century off 17 balls – the second-fastest fifty for India in Men's T20Is.
Sharma continued his carnage and notched up his second T20I ton off 37 deliveries, which happens to be the second-fastest hundred for India in the shortest format.
Abhishek brought up his three-figure mark on the first delivery of the 11th over with a single. The stylish left-hander was batting on 106* off 42 balls at the time of writing, and his knock had featured 6 boundaries and 10 sixes by then.
Thanks to Abhishek’s whirlwind display, the Men in Blue had posted 178/3 on the board after the end of 13 overs.
Abhishek Sharma's entertaining knock was duly appreciated by the cricket fraternity on social media platform X.
