Abhishek Sharma, who made his debut for the Indian cricket team, seems to have regained his lost form. Although his bat did not run much during the recent series against South Africa, but now he is again batting explosively in his style. Abhishek Sharma has scored a stunning century. Along with this, the record of Rishabh Pant, the star player of the Indian team, has been broken for the second time in a few days. However, fortunately Urvil Patel escaped. If it had been one ball less, even Urvil would have been left behind.
Abhishek Sharma playing for Punjab scored a 28-ball century against Meghalaya.
Abhishek Sharma is currently playing for his team Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament. Abhishek Sharma scored a century in just 28 balls against Meghalaya. A few days ago, Urvil Patel, playing for Gujarat, broke Rishabh Pant’s record by scoring a century in 28 balls. Rishabh Pant had made a record of 32 centuries, now this record has been broken twice in a few days. Abhishek Sharma and Urvil Patel have come to par. Both of them have scored 28-ball centuries in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Abhishek batted with a great strike rate
Meanwhile, if we look at the strike rate, Abhishek Sharma has definitely become the fastest century batsman in this regard. When he completed his century, his strike rate was 365.52. Sahil Chauhan, the fastest T20 century scorer, had a strike rate of 351.21 when he scored a century against Cyprus this year. When Urvil Patel scored an explosive century against Tripura, his strike rate was 322.85. That is, if viewed in terms of strike rate, he is the fastest batsman to score a century, but such a record does not count for much. Balls are looked at to see how many balls a batsman has faced when he completes a century.
Punjab won the match in the tenth over
Abhishek Sharma faced a total of 29 balls during the match and scored 106 runs. He has hit 11 sixes and 8 fours during this innings. His strike rate at the end of the match was over 365. Batting first, the Meghalaya team scored 142 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs. Punjab chased down this score in just 9.3 overs thanks to Abhishek Sharma’s storming century. Apart from Abhishek, no other batsman could score even a half-century. There was no need for this.
