Records Broken by Abhishek Sharma
His 17-ball half-century was India’s second-fastest in T20I history, and his knock was both exciting and quick as India won the India vs England 5th T20I. His 37-ball century, which was the second-fastest against a Full Member nation, trailed only by David Miller’s 35-ball century, maintaining the pace of the innings for India. India reached a national record of 95/1 in the powerplay thanks to Abhishek’s brilliant start, and at the 10-over point, he was already on 99, bringing the team total to 143/2.

India’s 2nd Fastest Hundred in T20I
Abhishek seemed to be in total control of the game at this stage, raising the possibility of a historic first-ever 300 in a T20I match. The game had become a spectacle, with Abhishek playing like he was in a video game and hitting anything, including deliveries at 150 kph, with absolute comfort on his way to the 2nd fastest hundred in T20I by Indian.
England’s Counterattack
England put up some fight despite the early assault, especially from Brydon Carse, who claimed three wickets in a brilliant performance. But Abhishek Sharma remained confident despite his pace slowing as he kept on losing batters from the other end. He was quiet for a few overs after hitting a rare single to reach his century, but he came alive when Carse bowled his last over. The batter hit two more sixes and crushed 17 runs off the over. Abhishek was dismissed after a tactical battle with Adil Rashid ended in a miscalculation, but not before he made a final flourish that made India’s total a formidable obstacle for England.
Next Stage：IPL
Abhishek’s spectacular knock during the match was the high point of a series that will never be forgotten, solidifying his status as one of India’s most promising young players. The future is indeed bright for Abhishek Sharma, as he showed everyone during the match and the whole series what he is capable of. It will be a treat to watch him bat alongside Travis Head in the upcoming IPL season for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

The Indian coach, Gautam Gambhir, also expressed his reactions and, in the post-match interview, said “I haven’t seen a better T20 hundred against bowlers who are bowling at 140-150 kph consistently.” This was one of the best T20I innings of all time from the Indian southpaw in the India vs England 5th T20I, which was practically a dead rubber as India had already won the series.
