Two emerging explosive batters of the Indian cricket. One is Vaibhav Suryavanshi and another one is Abhishek Sharma. These two top order batters are now neck to neck for a single record. Can Sharma surpass Vaibhav in the run for records? And which record we are talking about? Let’s know in detail.
Abhishek Sharma can break a record of Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Abhishek Sharma can surpass Vaibhav Suryavanshi in a list of record. The race between Abhishek and Vaibhav is about their centuries in T20Is this year. Currently, both players have scored three centuries each in 2025. Vaibhav Suryavanshi doesn’t have to play any T20Is this year. However, Abhishek Sharma has a five-match T20I series against South Africa, where he could surpass Vaibhav Suryavanshi by scoring his fourth T20I century of the year.
If Abhishek Sharma surpasses Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the T20 series against South Africa , he will equal Pakistan batsman Sahibzada Farhan’s record for most T20 centuries, set in 2025. Sahibzada has four T20 centuries. After surpassing Vaibhav, Abhishek will also have four centuries.
