Abhishek Sharma’s Destructive Knock: England Captain Hails It as the Best T20 Innings He Has Ever Seen
In the fifth T20 match against England at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, young Indian opener Abhishek Sharma delivered a stunning century, dismantling the opposition’s bowling attack. He scored a blistering 135 runs off just 54 balls, hitting 13 sixes in the process. His explosive innings powered Team India to a formidable total of 247 runs in the allotted 20 overs.
Chasing a target of 248, England crumbled under pressure and was bowled out for just 97 runs. Phil Salt was the only notable contributor with a quickfire 55 off 23 balls, while the rest of the batting lineup failed to reach double digits. India secured a commanding 150-run victory, clinching the five-match T20 series 4-1.
Following Abhishek Sharma’s breathtaking innings, England captain Jos Buttler showered him with praise. "I have watched a lot of cricket, but Abhishek's knock today was the best T20 innings I have ever seen," Buttler stated.
Reflecting on the series loss, Buttler admitted his disappointment but acknowledged India's dominance in home conditions. "Losing the series is disappointing, but we did some things well. There are areas we need to improve. India is a phenomenal team at home, and beating them here is never easy. We will try to bounce back in the upcoming ODI series," he added.
