India batter Abhishek Sharma on Sunday slammed his second T20I century during the fifth and final game of the series against England in Mumbai. Abhishek reached the milestone in just 37 balls, missing India captain Rohit Sharma and David Miller's all-time record by a whisker.
Following his side's massive win over England in the fifth match of the series, India's Shivam Dube said that it was a great feeling for him to contribute as an allrounder. Abhishek Sharma's all-round performance in the match guided the hosts India to a historic victory over England in the fifth and final match of the series at the Wankhade Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. With this victory, India sealed the five-match series 4-1 after having already sealed the series.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla has recalled his first interaction with Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of British band Coldplay. Martin and his fellow band members were in India recently for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour. Coldplay performed in Mumbai for three straight days, before wrapping up their tour with two concerts in Ahmedabad. During a recent interaction, Shukla made a hilarious revelation, saying that he didn't knew who Martin was when he first met him.
Abhishek Sharma put up a stunning all-round performance, as India beat England by 150 runs in the fifth T20I at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Opening the batting, Abhishek smashed the highest individual T20I score by an Indian batter, slamming 135 in just 54 balls. Abhishek then chipped in with two wickets in a single over, and even took a catch, capping off one of the finest T20I performances by an Indian. After the game, Abhishek's mentor - legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh - took to social media to remark on the game.
With a majority of Test team players turning out for their state teams in the Ranji Trophy, legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar said he hopes for this initiative to become an exercise and is not just reduced to being a box-ticking exercise. Since the time Ranji Trophy's second leg began on January 23, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Prasidh Krishna, Devdutt Padikkal and Kuldeep Yadav have turned out for their respective state teams.
India put on an all-round show at the Wankhede Stadium, blowing England away in the fifth and final T20I on Sunday. Opener Abhishek Sharma entered history books with his 54-ball 135, the second-fastest century and the highest score by an Indian batter in T20Is. While Abhishek's knock was surely the highlight of the record-breaking night in Mumbai, the catching and fielding deserved a big shoutout. Save Phil Salt's 23-55 ball, the rest of the England players perished for cheap after attempting big shots.
World champion D Gukesh and Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa lost on a dramatic final day but still set up a tie-breaker at the end of the 13th and final round of the Tata Steel Chess tournament here on Sunday. Gukesh lost his first game as the world champion, bowing to some energetic play by compatriot Arjun Erigaisi while Praggnanandhaa went down against Vincent Keymer, whose technique was impeccable on the final day. Interestingly enough, the chess buffs were reminded of the 2013 Candidates tournament where Magnus Carlsen of Norway and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia were leading together but both lost.
Opener Abhishek Sharma, who hammered a 54-ball 135 and claimed 2 wickets for three runs to help India thrash England by 150 runs in the fifth and final T20I, said his mentor Yuvraj Singh would have been really happy with his knock as he batted till the end of the innings, staying till the 18th over at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday. The left-handed opener started at a breakneck pace, hitting Jofra Archer and Mark Wood for successive boundaries at the start of the innings but slowed down in the middle overs before hitting some big shots towards the end of his innings as he got out for 135 in the 18th over. Overall, he blasted 13 sixes, the highest in a T20I innings by an Indian batter.
