Rohit's record broken; Virat's equalled: List of Abhishek Sharma's records

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.

Rohit's record broken; Virat's equalled: List of Abhishek Sharma's records

Ajit Agarkar's BCCI chairmanship contract ends this month, with an extension reportedly unlikely, according to an NDTV report. Rohit Sharma's unexpected selection for the West Indies ODI series has added to speculation surrounding Agarkar's future. Rohit Sharma was not initially part of the 2027 World Cup plans but his strong performance against England changed the picture.

Agarkar's fate as the chair of BCCI's senior men's selection committee is set to be debated before the AGM on Friday. Former India stars Parthiv Patel and Pragyan Ojha have reportedly emerged as frontrunners to replace Agarkar. Rohit Sharma's ODI selection adds another layer to the Agarkar exit speculation. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia denied any speculation that Rohit Sharma's career is ending soon and stated that he would continue playing as long as he remains in the selectors' plans.
