Sun Feb 02 14:31:00 UTC 2025: ## Sharma’s Century Fuels India’s Record Powerplay in Final T20I Against England
**Mumbai, India** – Abhishek Sharma nearly shattered a record in the final T20I between India and England at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, smashing a breathtaking century off just 37 balls. He narrowly missed equaling the fastest T20I century by a player from a Test-playing nation, a record jointly held by Rohit Sharma and David Miller.
India’s explosive start saw them accumulate a record-breaking 95 runs in the powerplay, the highest ever in their T20I history. This aggressive display set the tone for the match.
Mohammed Shami returned to the Indian team, replacing Harshit Rana, who despite taking three wickets on his T20I debut as a concussion substitute in the previous match, was not selected for the final game. Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson will be looking to improve their batting performances in this crucial match.
