Abhishek Sharma’s record century helps India beat England

The Indian men’s cricket team registered a whopping 150-run win against England in the fifth game of a five-match T20I series played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

Abhishek Sharma played a starring role with the bat thanks to a blitzkrieg knock of 135 off 54 balls, which also saw him create the record for most sixes (13) by an Indian in a T20I innings.

It was the second hundred of his still nascent international career and saw him surpass Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 126 against New Zealand - which was previously the highest individual T20I score for India.

India scored a mammoth 247/9 in their 20 overs and then bundled out the England cricket team for just 97 runs. Mohammed Shami took 3/25 while Abhishek Sharma chipped in with two wickets in an over.
