New Delhi, Sep 17 (UNI) Abhishek Sharma fine-tuned his preparations for the upcoming Asian Games with the fastest T20I century by a batter from a Full Member nation, powering India to a 127-run win over Afghanistan in the third and final match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Thursday and a 3-0 series sweep.
Abhishek reached his hundred in just 30 balls, bettering the previous record - jointly held by Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza (vs Gambia in 2024), and New Zealand's Finn Allen (vs South Africa at the 2026 T20 World Cup) - by three balls. Rohit Sharma’s 35-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2017 was the previous Indian record.
