5th T20I: Abhishek's Record Ton Propels India To 247/9 Against England
T20 World Cup: Hitting some sensational shots all around the ground, opener Abhishek Sharma blazed to the second-fastest century by an Indian off 37 balls as his aggressive batting helped India post a massive total of 247 for 9 against England in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday.
Abhishek hammered the second-fastest fifty (17 balls) and second-fastest century (37 balls) during a majestic 135 off 54 balls, treating every England bowler with disdain, pulling, hoicking, reversing and driving with aplomb as he struck seven boundaries and 13 scintillating sixes.
England skipper Jos Butter had opted to bowl first hoping to exploit the assistance bowlers usually get at the Wankhede but it only materialised as Abhishek came out with all guns blazing.
