Abhishek Sharma's incredible century was a major factor in Team India's outstanding batting performance against England in the fifth and final Twenty20 International of the series. With an incredible 135 runs off just 54 balls, the left-handed opener stunned the English bowlers and broke Shubman Gill's previous record of 126 not out, creating a new Indian record for the highest individual score in Twenty20 Internationals.

Sanju Samson's stunning six off the first ball bowled by Jofra Archer gave India a thrilling start to the contest. However, Abhishek Sharma's brilliant performance was what really dominated the match.

In addition to his batting heroics, Abhishek also made a notable impact with the ball, taking two wickets in a single over, alongside Varun Chakravarthy and Shivam Dube. Mohammed Shami emerged as the standout bowler of the day, securing three wickets in total.
