After Abhishek Sharma's Record-Breaking Knock, Mentor Yuvraj Singh's Post Wins Internet

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.

India posted a massive total of 247/9 in 20 overs, and then delivered with the ball in hand. India took wickets at regular intervals to bundle England out for just 97.

Varun Chakravarthy picked up two wickets, as did Shivam Dube and Abhishek himself. Mohammed Shami came back at the death to scalp three England wickets,
