**Mumbai, India:** India completed a resounding 4-1 victory in their five-match T20I series against England with a dominant 150-run win in the final match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. The victory was powered by a breathtaking century from young debutant Abhishek Sharma.

Sharma smashed a record-breaking 135 runs off just 54 balls, including 7 fours and an astonishing 13 sixes – the most sixes ever hit by an Indian in a T20I innings. His innings formed the backbone of India’s imposing 247/9. Other notable contributions came from Shivam Dube (30), Tilak Varma (24), Sanju Samson (16), and Axar Patel (15). For England, Brydon Carse took 3 wickets.

Chasing a challenging 248, England’s innings crumbled under accurate Indian bowling. Despite a brisk start, they were bowled out for 97 in just 10.3 overs. Phil Salt top-scored with 55, but no other batter reached double figures. Mohammed Shami led the Indian bowling attack with 3 wickets, while Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Dube, and Abhishek Sharma each claimed 2 wickets. Ravi Bishnoi took the remaining wicket.

Sharma’s innings not only secured a comfortable win for India but also set a new benchmark for the highest individual score by an Indian in this format. The victory cemented India’s dominance in the series, leaving England with no chance of a comeback.
