In the 5th T20 against England, the Indian team lost the toss and came out to bat first. Sanju Samson hit a six on the very first ball and gave a message that the Indian team, which has already won the series, does not want to leave any stone unturned in winning the last match as well. Sanju hit 2 sixes and 1 four in the first over. When Sanju got out in the second over, Abhishek Sharma took over.
Abhishek Sharma dealt in boundaries
Abhishek went four steps ahead of Sanju. He started tearing apart the England bowlers. Abhishek was seen dealing in boundaries throughout the match. He scored a half-century in the first 17 balls. With this, he became the second Indian batsman to score the fastest fifty in T20 International after Guru Yuvraj Singh. However, Abhishek did not stop here and scored a century in 37 balls. Hit 13 sixes and 7 fours
On the last ball of the 18th over, Adil Rashid took the wicket of Abhishek. Abhishek Sharma hit 135 runs in 54 balls. During this, he hit 7 fours and 13 sixes. Abhishek Sharma’s mentor Yuvraj Singh would be very happy to see this innings. However, one habit of Abhishek Sharma must have troubled Yuvi even today.
Yuvraj had advised Abhishek to take singles along with boundaries. This video of him went viral on social media. However, it was not seen in Mumbai. In Mayanagari, Abhishek Sharma played a big innings by taking the help of boundaries. He scored 106 out of 135 runs from boundaries.
