Abhishek Sharma hits 30-ball century, breaks Rohit Sharma's Indian record in T20Is

“Against our batting line-up, you can’t bowl spin,” Varun Chakravarthy said after the first T20I against Afghanistan in Delhi. Afghanistan could neither bowl spin nor pace as the Indian batters feasted on their bowling throughout the ‘Friendship Cup’, which was anything but friendly on the field. On Thursday, in the series finale at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Abhishek Sharma ensured his teammate’s words rang in the heads of the Afghan bowlers as he hit the fastest century by an Indian in T20I cricket.

Abhishek Sharma smashed his third T20I hundred, bringing up the landmark in just 30 balls. He broke Rohit Sharma’s record for the fastest T20I century by an Indian, with the former captain having previously reached his hundred in 35 deliveries against Sri Lanka in 2017.
