Rohit Sharma's record broken; Virat Kohli's equalled: List of Abhishek Sharma's records after 30-ball century vs Afghanistan
Abhishek Sharma smashed his century off just 30 balls to break the record for the fastest T20I century by an Indian. The record was earlier held by former India captain Rohit Sharma, who had scored a 35-ball century against Sri Lanka in Indore in 2017.
Abhishek Sharma delivered a record-breaking performance in India's third and final T20I against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The left-handed batter smashed 108 runs off just 34 balls, breaking the record for the fastest T20I century by an Indian and becoming the fastest batter from a Full Member nation to score a T20I century.
Abhishek also equalled Virat Kohli's tally of 10 T20 centuries and smashed 11 sixes during his explosive innings, extending his own record for the most sixes by an Indian batter in a T20I series.
