Abhishek Sharma Created History in T20 Cricket
Abhishek Sharma scored 40 runs in 28 balls against the Mumbai Indians. During this innings, he became the first Indian batsman to cross 500 runs in T20 cricket in 2025. So far, he has scored 511 runs in 12 innings this year.
Apart from him, no other Indian batsman has reached even the 400-run mark. Tilak Verma is second on this list with 343 runs in 10 innings. Sai Sudharsan is third, having scored 329 runs in 6 innings.
Most fascinating part of Abhishek Sharma’s batting is his Six hitting. Since 2024, he smashed 119 sixes in just 50 T20 matches. Only Pooran and Klaasen have more but he even beats the mighty Pooran when it comes to sixes per match. pic.twitter.com/I3OPr9TfuX
