Abhishek Sharma etched his name into the record books on Thursday by smashing the fastest T20I century by a batter from a Test-playing nation. The left-handed opener from India dispatched Afghanistan's bowling attack with a blistering 30-ball 100 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Sharma's remarkable knock included the highest individual score in the first six overs of a men's T20I, a feat accomplished in just 22 balls.
His unbeaten 76 off 22 balls surpassed the previous record set by Portugal's Kuldeep Gholiya in 2023, who scored 74 off 25 balls. Sharma's extraordinary performance also marked his third century in T20Is, establishing him as a force to be reckoned with in the shortest format of the game.
