Abhishek Sharma, who recently made his debut for the Indian team, has been in stunning form of late. Today, Thursday, he scored a century in just 28 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Now he has equaled Urvil Patel and left Rishabh Pant behind. Abhishek Sharma, who plays for Punjab, hit 11 sixes against Meghalaya. Those 11 sixes are now very special to him. He has now broken the record of star Indian player and T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav. He set this record in 2022.
Abhishek is playing for Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
So far this year, 2024, Abhishek Sharma has hit 87 sixes in T20 cricket. Remember, we are not just talking about T20 Internationals. Six-a-side matches for Team India, India A, Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad are also included. Currently, he is playing for the Punjab team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the remaining days of the year, he will get a chance to play a few more games and hit more sixes so that it will be difficult for other batsmen to break his record in the future.
Hit 11 sixes today, breaking Surya’s record
Abhishek Sharma had a brilliant innings today when he came out for the batsmen in the SMAT match. He scored an innings of 106 runs off just 29 balls and remained unbeaten even after helping his team win. He hit 8 fours and 11 sixes. But the six-wicket haul that leaves Suryakumar Yadav behind could be special for him. Interestingly, Suryakumar Yadav also returned to the game after his sister’s marriage and represented Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Championship.
Batsman who hit most sixes in T20s this year
If we talk about the batsmen who have hit the most sixes in T20 cricket this year, then Nicholas Pooran is at the top of the list. He has hit 169 sixes in different leagues so far. South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen has hit 104 sixes in T20 cricket this year. Andre Russell hit 91 sixes this year. Now, India’s Abhishek Sharma has also joined the list at the fourth spot. Travis Head hit 83 sixes and Abhishek hit 87 sixes in T20s this year. Whether they can successfully break the 100 mark remains to be seen.
