Desk: In the last match of the T20 series played against Afghanistan, Indian explosive opener Abhishek Sharma created a historic disaster. Proving the truth of his pep talk given in Punjabi in the team huddle before the match, 26-year-old Abhishek Sharma scored a stormy century in just 30 balls. With this, he set a new record for India and in the history of Test playing countries by scoring the fastest century in T20 International.
During the team huddle before the start of the match, Abhishek gave an enthusiastic message to the entire team. He had told his colleagues in Punjabi, 'Surma never shows mercy to anyone. Today we will not spare them at all. This is the last match of the series. Look at the crowd gathered in the stadium, today we have to give complete entertainment to the fans. As soon as he came to the crease after this huddle speech, he proved every word of his words to be true and blew away Afghan bowling.
Abhishek not only created a stir with his century, but also made the world record of the highest score by any batsman in the powerplay of Men's T20 International cricket. Abhishek single-handedly scored 76 runs in the first 6 overs. With this he destroyed the powerplay records of Portugal's Kuldeep Gholia (74*) and Australia's Travis Head (73*).
During his entire innings, Abhishek batted at a strike rate of 317.65, which included 9 fours and 11 sixes. He faced a total of 34 balls and scored 108 runs. During this, Abhishek left behind former Indian captain Rohit Sharma's record of the fastest T20I century made in 35 balls, which the hitman had made against Sri Lanka in Indore in 2017. At the same time, he has become the world's third fastest centurion in overall International T20.
