Gautam Gambhir highlighted India’s explosive start in the series finale, where the team scored 100 runs without losing a wicket in the powerplay. Abhishek Sharma led the charge with a stunning 30-ball century, while Sanju Samson also contributed to the record opening stand as India eventually posted 221/7 in 20 overs.
His century was also the third-fastest in men’s T20I cricket overall and the fastest by a batter from a Full Member nation. Abhishek struck 11 sixes and nine fours during his remarkable assault, while his first 50 came from only 16 balls.
The innings followed Abhishek's scores of 82 and 39 in the first two games, meaning he finished the series with 229 runs. India then bowled Afghanistan out for 94 to complete a 127-run victory and a 3-0 sweep. Abhishek was named Player of the Match and Player of the Series.
The only thing that we talk in that dressing room is about how much impact can we create - Gautam Gambhir
"Look, I'll tell you one thing. I think that it's not about the 100 that he [Abhishek Sharma] scored today. I can sit here and keep talking about his 100, but it's just the impact," Gautam Gambhir said at the post-match press conference.
We still haven't reached 300 - Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir also singled out India's record powerplay as a major positive from the series finale. While Abhishek's hundred and Samson's fifty stood out on the scorecard, the coach said India's ability to score 100 runs inside the first six overs was particularly significant.
"So I think that was a very clear message that if you're going hard, just keep going hard. That is what the message and that is exactly the message going to be in future as well that we still haven't reached 300 [in T20Is]. So that's probably the next target because the kind of talent we have in that dressing room, we should be doing some incredible things. So we still have a lot to achieve."
