In the first ODI match played against England at Chester-le-Street on 1 July 2026, Abhishek Sharma played a very explosive and memorable inning of 59 runs. Although this match was of ODI format, but the impact of this innings of Abhishek and his T20 International form together created a new history in the cricket world.
During this explosive batting, Abhishek Sharma also completed his 100 sixes at the international level. In terms of facing balls, he has become the world number one batsman who has hit the fastest 100 sixes in T20 International. This record of his shows how he pounces on the opposition bowlers as soon as he comes to the crease.
Abhishek Sharma completed his half-century (fifty) against England in just 20 balls. With this, he has become the Indian player to score the fastest T20 International half-century on English soil. During this innings, his strike rate was skyrocketing, which spoiled the line-length of the English bowlers.
Mr. 360 Degree i.e. Suryakumar Yadav is at third place in the list of those who scored the highest 50 plus score for India. Surya has scored 3272 runs in 113 matches with the help of 4 centuries and 25 half-centuries (total 29 times 50 plus), whose strike rate is 162.94. At number four is KL Rahul, who has scored 2265 runs in 72 matches with 2 centuries and 22 half-centuries (total 24 times 50+).
Abhishek Sharma has crossed the fifty plus mark a total of 13 times in his career by scoring 2 centuries and 11 half-centuries. Due to this brilliant performance, he is included in the top-5 batsmen of India. However, he is far behind fourth-placed KL Rahul (50+ 24 times), so he can remain at number 5 for a long time.
Even though Abhishek Sharma looks safe at number 5, he is going to face tough competition from the young players coming behind him in the times to come. Right behind him are strong and aggressive batsmen like Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan, who can come up in this list on the basis of one or two good innings.
An interesting incident is also included in this journey of Abhishek Sharma. Recently, his stormy innings played against Ireland was initially considered as a half-century, but later after technical review, one run was reduced from his account. Due to this, that innings was reduced to 49 runs and he lost one half-century, otherwise another fifty plus score would have been recorded in his figures today.
Abhishek Sharma’s astonishing T20 strike rate of 193.25 proves that he has become one of the most dangerous batsmen in modern cricket. After the era of Rohit-Virat, the future of Indian cricket definitely seems to be safe on such young shoulders.
