Abhishek Sharma, at 24, is quickly establishing himself as a powerful T20 cricketer with multiple record-breaking performances and remarkable self-belief. Influential figures like Yuvraj Singh and strong support from team management have played a significant role in his rapid rise and success.

Young Abhishek Sharma was the toast of the nation after he smashed a breathtaking century against England in the final T20I in Mumbai. Abhishek hit a scintillating 135 off 54 balls to power India to a mammoth 247 for nine in 20 overs.

On Sunday, in India's big win against England in the fifth T20I, Sharma finally did what the former India all-rounder wanted. Sharma stayed at the crease for 54 balls and went to record the highest individual score by an Indian in T20Is.
