Abhishek Sharma: Broke 18 year old Yuvraj Singh’s record.
The first match of the 5-match T20 series being played between India and England was played at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, which Team India won by 7 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series. The Indian team had a target of 133 runs in this match, which they achieved in just 12.5 overs on the basis of Abhishek Sharma’s quick inning of 79 runs. On the basis of this innings, Abhishek broke the 18 year old record of Yuvraj Singh. Abhishek faced only 34 balls during his innings and he also hit a total of 8 sixes.
Abhishek became the Indian player to hit the most sixes in a T20 match against England.
Before this match, the record of hitting most sixes in a T20 match by Team India against England was in the name of Yuvraj Singh, who had hit his six in the match played against England in Durban in the T20 World Cup held in 2007. A total of 7 sixes were hit during the inning of 58 runs. At the same time, Abhishek Sharma has left behind his 18-year-old record and has become the player to hit the most sixes for India in a T20 match against England. At the same time, Abhishek is now the player who has hit the most sixes in a match for both the teams in any T20 match between India and England.
The captain gave me permission to play freely
After the first T20 match against England, Abhishek Sharma said about his excellent innings of 79 runs that I just wanted to play my game openly on the field, for which both the captain and the coach had given me permission. Double bounce was visible on this wicket and our bowlers bowled very well. I thought we would get between 160 to 170 runs but the bowlers showed much better performance. I feel very good opening with Sanju in which we keep talking to each other continuously. IPL helped me a lot. I have not seen this kind of team environment where the captain and coach talk to you openly and easily.
