Abhishek Sharma hits fastest T20I century: 100 off 30 balls vs Afghanistan
Abhishek Sharma set a new record by becoming the fastest Indian to score a T20I century, achieving the feat in just 30 deliveries against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. This came after a year of ups and downs, where Sharma was once the Tournament Player of the Year at the 2025 Asia Cup but faced challenges in international cricket.
He had previously scored a century in only his second match for India and 1,115 runs in the IPL 2025 season. His century in the Afghanistan match included 16 boundaries, surpassing the previous record of 35 deliveries set by Rohit Sharma in 2017.
