1st T20I: Abhishek Smashes 79 As India Thrash England By Seven Wickets, Go 1-0 Up
Eden Gardens: Abhishek Sharma smashed a scintillating 79 to help India chase down 133 inside 13 overs and beat England by seven wickets in the T20I series opener at the Eden Gardens here on Wednesday. The result also helped India go 1-0 up in the five-match series.
After wrist-spinner Varun Chakravarthy shone with figures of 3-23 as India’s bowlers put in a magnificent performance to bowl out England for just 132, Abhishek provided an absolute masterclass on opening the batting in the shortest format, hitting five boundaries and eight sixes in his 34-ball stay.
He mixed finesse and brute force in getting 68 out of 79 runs from boundaries and played a leading role in getting a comprehensive win for India. India’s chase began on a bright note as Sanju Samson hit four boundaries and a six in the second over to take 22 runs off Gus Atkinson.
