**Mumbai, India** – India secured a resounding 150-run victory over England in the fifth and final T20I at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, setting several new records in the process. India’s total of 247/9 proved insurmountable, as England were bowled out for a paltry 97 in just 10.3 overs.

This win marks India’s second-largest victory margin in a T20I against a full member nation, surpassed only by their 168-run win against New Zealand in Ahmedabad earlier this year. The match also witnessed several individual milestones.

Abhishek Sharma stole the show, smashing a breathtaking 135 runs off just 54 balls, including 7 fours and a record-breaking 13 sixes. This is the highest individual score by an Indian in a T20I. His innings also established a new record for the fastest century (for a full member nation) against a full member nation, taking him just 37 balls to reach the milestone. Furthermore, Sharma’s 13 sixes set a new benchmark for the most sixes hit by an Indian in a single T20I innings.

India’s powerplay performance was equally impressive, accumulating 95/1, the highest ever in a T20I for the team.

Sharma’s all-round brilliance earned him the Player of the Match award. He also contributed with the ball, taking two wickets for only three runs in one over.

The dominant victory showcases India’s powerful batting lineup and impressive bowling attack, leaving a lasting mark on the T20I record books. The match was also noted for Sachin Tendulkar’s enthusiastic reaction to Sharma’s explosive innings, which he shared on social media.
