On September 17, Indian Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen visibly emotional as Abhishek Sharma set the record for the fastest hundred in a T20I. The Indian opener smashed his century off just 30 balls, showcasing nine boundaries and eleven sixes. Abhishek's unique celebration after completing his century, which involved a Yoga pose while seated, drew laughter and a genuine smile from Gambhir.
The video captured Gambhir's emotional reaction to the record-breaking performance. India's opener reached his 100 off 30 balls, with 50 runs in the Powerplay powered by Sharma's explosive innings. Abhishek reached his half-century in just 16 balls and scored the remaining 50 in just 14 balls. He was dismissed caught by Rahmanullah Gurbaz off Rashid Khan.
Despite Sharma's confidence that the ball had missed his edge, the Decision Review System (DRS) confirmed it was a clear edge, ending his blistering innings.
