Abhishek Sharma breaks Rohit Sharma’s record.
Sahil Chauhan still holds the overall record for the fastest century in T20I cricket. The Estonian batter smashed a 27-ball hundred against Cyprus in 2024.
In a brutal attack on the Afghanistan bowlers, Abhishek had reached his fifty in just 16 balls and needed only another 14 deliveries to complete his century. The left-handed opener was eventually dismissed after scoring 108 runs from 34 balls, with nine fours and 11 sixes to his name. His 11 sixes came at a remarkable rate of one every 3.09 balls.
Abhishek Sharma adds another T20I record to his name
He also extended his own record for the most T20I fifties in 20 balls or fewer. His latest fifty came from only 16 balls, taking his total to six such fifties. Abhishek has also reached 10 centuries in T20 cricket, equalling Virat Kohli’s record for the most hundreds by an Indian in the T20 format. Abhishek now needs just one more century to become India’s leading T20 century-maker.
