Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium turned into a battlefield on February 2 as Abhishek Sharma delivered one of the most destructive T20I innings ever seen. Playing in the final match of the five-game series against England, the young left-hander went on a rampage, hammering 135 runs off just 63 balls.
This was no ordinary century—it was historic. Abhishek’s 135 is now the highest individual score by an Indian in T20 internationals, breaking Rohit Sharma’s previous record. He also smashed the second-fastest T20I hundred by an Indian, proving that a new power-hitter has arrived on the world stage.
But the real showstopper? His 13 sixes. Each one sent the crowd into a frenzy as he rewrote history, surpassing Rohit Sharma’s record of 10 maximums in a single T20I innings. With every shot, he dismantled England’s bowling attack and catapulted India to their highest-ever T20I total in Mumbai.
England had no answers. Their bowlers were mere spectators as Abhishek toyed with them, turning yorkers into boundaries and good-length balls into souvenirs for the fans. His innings wasn’t just about records—it was a shift in India’s T20 approach. Power, precision, and pure dominance.
In a night where history was rewritten, Abhishek Sharma didn’t just make headlines—he made an era-defining statement. If this is just the beginning, world cricket better brace itself. India’s newest T20 superstar has arrived, and he’s here to stay.
