India batter Abhishek Sharma registered his name in history books with a majestic 54-ball 135 in the 5th and final T20I of the series against England on Sunday. The left-handed opening batter has always shown the intent of playing such extraordinary innings and he executed it to perfection at Wankhede this time. As Abhishek's inspiring knock helped India secure a whopping 150-run victory against Jos Buttler-led tourists, the young opener went on to break several records. One of the biggest records that Abhishek broke, courtesy of his century against England, was Virat Kohli's milestone of scoring the most number of runs in a T20I series against England for India.
India have unearthed another stunning T20 talent in the form of Abhishek Sharma. After a topsy-turvy start to the T20I series against England, Abhishek showed once again why he is so highly rated in the shortest format. The opening batter hit a mind-boggling 54-ball 135 as India secured a stunning 150-run victory against England in the 5th and final T20I of the series in Mumbai on Sunday. Seeing Abhishek teach the Brendon McCullum-coached England a new 'Bazball' lesson, the batter's mentor Yuvraj Singh shared a worthy post, praising the southpaw.

As results went against the Indian team Down Under, the defeats against Australia further fuelled the rumours, but Gambhir decided to maintain his silence on the matter. However, after helping the Indian team secure a 4-1 T20I series win against England, Gambhir decided to give it back to those spreading the rumours.
Team India wrapped up a brilliant T20I series victory against England with a gigantic 150-run win in the 5th and final match at Wankhede on Sunday. In the process, India managed to seal a 4-1 series win against Jos Buttler's men. However, former England captain Michael Vaughan doesn't agree with the 4-1 scoreline, saying it should've been 2-2 as India 'played 12 men' in the 4th T20I. The remark from Vaughan comes in the wake of the 'concussion substitute' controversy that saw Shivam Dube being replaced by Harshit Rana in the penultimate match of the series.
