In vs meadow 5. T20i: Abhishek Sharma’s record-breaking 135 Power India for 4-1 Series victory against England | Cricket News

New Delhi: Abhishek Sharma’s extraordinary performance on 54-ball 135 set new benchmarks, achieved the second fastest century and highest score with an Indian Sunday. After England chose to mark, Abhishek’s aggressive batting India propelled to their highest T20i Total against England at 247/9. England collapsed for only 97 in 10.3 overs.
This 150-race victory margin stands as India’s second largest in T20is after their 168-run victory over New Zealand in 2023.

Despite Phil Salt‘s aggressive 23-ball 55, which contains seven four and three sixes, wavered England’s batting lineup at Wankhede Stadium.
Key England Batsmen appeared poorly, with Ben Duckett (0), Buttler (7), Harry Brook (2) and Liam Livingstone (9), which scored only 18 races on an excellent batting surface.

The lower order offered some resistance. Abhishek continued his dominance by requiring two wickets (2/3) in his sole over and removing Brydon Carse (3) and Jamie Overton (1).
Mohammed Shami secured 3/25, Shivam Dube took 2/11, Varun Chakravarthy claimed 2/25, and Ravi Bishnoi ended with 1/9.

Abhishek dominated the fight with unique batting against both tempo and spin and established several items. The 24-year-old achieved its century in 37 balls, making it the second fastest for India after he originally reached his fifty in 17 balls.
He surpassed the Indian record for most sixes in a T20i round and hit his 11th six out of Brydon Carse (3/38) in the 17th, and eventually ended with 13 sixes.
His notable laps of 135, including seven fours, surpassed Shubman Gill’s previous Indian record of 126 not against New Zealand in Ahmedabad in 2023.

Abhishek’s contribution helped India to place their highest T20i score against England, which exceeded their former best of 224/2 at Ahmedabad in 2021.
This overall ranks like India’s fourth highest in T20is.
The left-handed Batsman showed excellent off-side games and consistently found holes in the field.

He was confident of Jofra Archer (1/55), where he played aggressive shots while maintaining control through his laps.
A remarkable moment came when he reached his fifty with a six off Overton’s full thrown, contributing to India’s highest Powerplay score of 95/1.
Overton’s fifth over proved expensive, admittedly 25 races including three sixes and one four for Abhishek.

While Sanju Samson (16) and Suryakumar Yadav (2) fought, Tilak gave Varma (24) and Shivam Dube (30) solid support for Abhishek.
Varma supported Abhishek in a 115-race other WICKET PARTNERSHIP OUT OF 43 BALLS, WHILE DUBE contributed to a fast 37-race fourth-wicket stand from 18 balls.

Samson began promising and hit two sixes from Archer in the first over and scored 14 races.
However, he fell to a short ball from Mark Wood and tried a pull shot after a 6-ball 16, caught by Archer at Backward Square Ben.
Team Captain Suryakumar’s return home at Wankhede Stadium turned out to be disappointing when he was caught by Phil Salt while trying his signature side shot.
