Abhishek Sharma continued his ever aggressive ways in India’s chase against Pakistan on Sunday. Sharma smashed Shaheen Afridi for a six off the very first ball to set the tone. With tempers flying all around, the left-hander used that as fuel to continue picking up boundaries at regular ease. Along with Shubman Gill, Sharma put on a 100-run opening partnership to make light work of the chase.
Abhishek also became the fastest to hit 50 sixes in T20Is. The 25-year-old has 52 sixes at the time of writing in just 20 innings. In terms of ball faced, Sharma got the milestone in just 331 balls, 35 quicker than West Indian Evin Lewis. Abhishek is just the 8th Indian to hit 50 T20I sixes for India and even went past MS Dhoni.
