Abhishek Sharma, the Indian left-handed opening batter in T20S, has not only been the perfect role model for a modern-day superstar but has also been one of India's most standout players, who has added immense firepower to any team he has played for.
Abhishek Sharma turned his carnage mode on as he assaulted the Bengal bowlers at the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad on Sunday morning. Abhishek hit top gear as he blazed past a 12-ball half-century.
When Abhishek completed his half-century off just 12 balls, he had played just one dot ball and also had taken just one single. His innings came off in no time with 5 fours and as many sixes to his name.

Abhishek batted alongside his opening partner, Prabhsimran Singh, and together the explosive duo took Punjab past 120 runs in less than 8 overs, and the Punjab Kings wicket-keeper too reached his fifty during the partnership.
He has now equalled the record with former Indian captain Rohit Sharma, and only Virat Kohli is ahead of him with 9 centuries struck by the Indian legend in the T20I format. He, alongside Urvil Patel, now tops the list for having made two quickest centuries in their career.
