Star in-form India opener Abhishek Sharma smashed the England bowlers in all corners of the ground in the ongoing fifth and last T20I of the five-match series. Sharma smashed a swashbuckling century, scoring 100 runs off just 37 balls. This amazing moment for Abhishek and the Indian cricket fans came on the first ball of the 11th over in the first innings.
The video of this iconic and memorable moment for Abhishek Sharma and the Indian team is also making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the official broadcasters.
With this century, Sharma also registered the record of hitting the second fastest century in the T20 internationals following the Indian batting stalwart former T20I legend, Rohit Sharma. Abhishek reached his century off just 37 balls while Rohit scored his century off just 35 balls against Sri Lanka in 2017.
Hereβs the moment when Abhishek Sharma reached his century:
Speaking of the current action of the fifth T20I between India and England in Wankhede, the hosts had scored 193 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 14.4 overs, with still having Abhishek Sharma there in the middle at the score of 108 runs off just 44 balls, with six fours and 10 sixes.
Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube also managed to score 24 and 30 runs off just 15 and 13 balls. Star English all-rounder Brydon Carse has scalped 3 wickets at just 21 runs in his three overs, alongside 2 wickets bagged by Mark Wood.
India is aiming to win this match and finish the five-match series with a comprehensive win by a 4-1 margin. They are coming off a 15-run win in the fourth T20I which helped them take an unassailable lead of 3-1 before the final fixture of the series.
On the other hand, England will also look ahead to achieve a consolation win to end the series on a winning note. Β
