Tue Feb 04 14:12:41 UTC 2025: ## Abhishek Sharma Shatters Records with Fastest T20I Century Against England
**London:** Young Indian sensation Abhishek Sharma etched his name into the record books during the fifth T20I against England. Sharma smashed the fastest-ever century against England in a T20I, achieving the feat in a breathtaking 37 balls. This surpasses the previous record held jointly by Aaron Finch and Chris Gayle, who both reached the milestone in 47 balls.
Sharma’s innings was a masterclass of aggressive batting, including a 17-ball fifty – the second fastest by an Indian in T20Is. While he narrowly missed equaling Rohit Sharma’s record for the fastest T20I century by an Indian (35 balls), his 118-run knock remains the highest individual score by an Indian in this format. He also set a new record for most sixes in an innings for India in T20Is.
This stunning performance contributed significantly to India’s emphatic 88-run victory. Sharma’s achievement places him as the second-fastest to reach a T20I century for India, trailing only Rohit Sharma. His remarkable display has firmly established him as a rising star in the world of cricket.
