3rd T20I: A Storm That Blew Afghanistan Away – Abhishek Dishes Out Unforgettable Six-hitting Blitz
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Storms usually give some warning before arriving to leave a city’s weather cycle in a mess and leave people wondering when it really came, hit them hard and then vanish as if it never came in the first place. Similar scenes unfolded at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday night.
Abhishek Sharma, taking strike for his first delivery of the night, had to push defensively to cover as Fazalhaq Farooqi got some good away shape. But on the very next ball, with fans around the Mohinder Amarnath stand chanting ‘Abhishek, Abhishek,’ Farooqi bowled a half-volley which had ‘hit me’ written all over, Abhishek brought out his signature loft over extra cover and the ‘India walle’ song from Happy New Year blared from the speakers at the stadium.
From there, for the next 50 minutes Afghanistan were caught in a storm and were literally blown away by the carnage unleashed by Abhishek. By the time he was out in the 10th over, Abhishek had made 108 off just 34 balls. He had hit 11 sixes and nine fours, reached the fastest men’s T20I hundred by an Indian batter, the quickest ton by a batter from a Full Member nation and put the game beyond Afghanistan's reach.
