5th T20I: Abhishek Sharma Hits Second-fastest Fifty As India Record Highest Powerplay Score
T20 World Cup: Abhishek Sharma scripted history by registering the second-fastest fifty for India in T20 internationals. The left-hander reached the milestone in just 17 balls during the fifth and final T20I against England, here at the Wankhede Stadium.
India had already secured the series with a 3-1 lead, but there was no sign of complacency as Abhishek tore into the English attack with fearless stroke play.
Abhishek’s blistering knock brought back memories of Yuvraj Singh’s legendary innings against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup, where he smashed a record-breaking fifty off just 12 balls, including six sixes in an over against Stuart Broad. While Yuvraj’s feat remains unmatched, Abhishek’s 17-ball effort is now the second-fastest in India’s T20I history.
