**Sydney, Australia:** Abhishek Sharma smashed a stunning century in the final T20I between India and Australia, rewriting record books in the process. The young batsman reached his hundred off just 37 balls, a whirlwind innings punctuated by seven fours and a record-breaking 13 sixes.
Sharma’s assault was relentless, targeting both pace and spin bowlers with equal ferocity. He particularly tormented Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid, hitting two consecutive sixes off each bowler. His power hitting was evident throughout the innings, with many of his sixes clearing the long-off boundary. His 13 sixes are the most ever hit by an Indian batsman in a T20I innings, surpassing Rohit Sharma’s previous record of 10.
Sharma ultimately fell for 135 runs off 53 balls, caught by Jofra Archer off the bowling of Adil Rashid. Despite his dismissal, his explosive performance will be remembered as one of the most dominant T20I batting displays in recent memory. He cited Yuvraj Singh as his cricketing mentor.
