**Mumbai, India** – India concluded their five-match T20 series against England with a resounding 150-run victory in the final match held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match was dominated by Abhishek Sharma’s breathtaking performance, who smashed a stunning century – a record-breaking 135 runs – the highest ever score by an Indian in a T20I match, surpassing Shubman Gill’s previous record of 126.
Sharma’s whirlwind innings, punctuated by five fours and ten sixes, was instrumental in India posting a mammoth 247/9 in their 20 overs. His knock was further enhanced by a two-wicket haul, cementing his status as the match’s hero. Shivam Dube also contributed significantly, scoring 30 runs and taking the key wicket of Phil Salt (55). The rest of the Indian batting lineup provided crucial support, setting an almost insurmountable target for England.
England’s chase was thwarted by India’s disciplined bowling attack. Despite a fighting 55 from Phil Salt, no other English batsman could withstand the pressure. The team crumbled to 97 all out, suffering their heaviest ever T20I defeat against India.
The victory secured a commanding 4-1 series win for India. Other notable highlights included the impressive performances of Shivam Dube and Varun Chakravarthy, who made significant contributions to the team’s victory.
