Abhishek Sharma’s explosive innings lit up the match with a flurry of boundaries and sixes, leaving England in tatters. On a historic day in T20 cricket, Abhishek’s record-breaking century powered India to a massive victory.

In the fifth and final match of the T20 series in Mumbai, India triumphed by a colossal margin of 159 runs, sealing the series 4-1. India posted a mammoth total of 247 runs in 20 overs, while England collapsed for just 97 runs in reply.

The star of the match was 24-year-old left-handed batter Abhishek Sharma, who scored a blistering 135 runs off just 54 balls. On his way to this extraordinary knock, he shattered several records.

Abhishek hit 13 sixes, setting a new record for the most sixes in an innings by an Indian in T20 internationals, surpassing the previous record of 10 held by Rohit Sharma and Sanju Samson. His score of 135 also became the highest individual score by an Indian in T20 internationals, overtaking Shubman Gill’s 126.

He reached his fifty in just 17 balls and completed his century in 37 balls, making both milestones the second-fastest for India in T20Is.

Abhishek’s brilliance wasn’t confined to batting alone. He also contributed with the ball, taking two wickets for just three runs in his solitary over.

England’s chase faltered early as Mohammed Shami dismissed Ben Duckett in the third over. Varun Chakravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Shivam Dube added to England’s misery with regular wickets. Shami, making a comeback after an injury, wrapped up the English innings, finishing with figures of 3 for 25.

India’s dominant performance showcased the perfect blend of individual brilliance and collective effort, capping off the series with a memorable victory.
