Abhishek Sharma Shatters Rohit Sharma’s Record, Smashes Quickest T20I Ton for India

Abhishek Sharma has slammed the fastest T20I hundred for India and has broken Rohit Sharma's record. Abhishek recorded this hundred in just 30 balls, the fastest by any Test-playing nation in cricket history so far.

Abhishek's carnage included 9 fours and 11 sixes. He looked in fine touch from the start and has maintained his sensational run in the shortest format. Abhishek also became the first player in T20I history to register more than one sub-40-ball hundred. It also happened to be his third century in the shortest format, coming after a breathtaking 37-ball ton against England at the Wankhede Stadium in 2025.

Abhishek also recorded the highest individual score in the powerplay. He registered 76 balls in just 22 runs and went on to smash a brilliant century. In the process, he has also created a number of records.

Abhishek's century is the 3rd fastest overall in the shortest format in international cricket. He has also scored at least three T20I centuries for India; only three other players have etched this record: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson.

India made just one change, with Arshdeep Singh paving the way for Yash Thakur in the team.
