**Mumbai, India** – India concluded their five-match T20 series against England with a resounding victory, winning 4-1 after a dominant performance in the final match at the Wankhede Stadium. The star of the show was Abhishek Sharma, who smashed a breathtaking century, setting a new record for most sixes (13) in a T20 innings by an Indian batter.
Sharma’s electrifying 135 runs off just 54 balls, studded with 13 sixes and 7 fours, laid the foundation for India’s massive 247/9. His innings, which included a 17-ball fifty and a 37-ball century, left the England bowlers shell-shocked. While Shivam Dubey also contributed a quickfire 30, Sharma’s onslaught was the defining feature of India’s innings.
In response, England’s chase never took off. Their batting line-up crumbled under the pressure of India’s disciplined bowling attack. Josh Buttler’s early dismissal triggered a collapse, and only Will Salt (55) offered any significant resistance. Mohammed Shami (3/25), Varun Chakravarthy (2/25), and Dubey (2/11) spearheaded India’s bowling attack, restricting England to a paltry 97 all out in 10.3 overs.
Abhishek Sharma was rightfully named Player of the Match for his record-breaking performance, while Varun Chakravarthy received the Player of the Series award. India’s comprehensive victory marks a strong finish to the series and showcases the team’s potent batting firepower.
