Abhishek Sharma Scores 30-Ball Century, India Beat Afghanistan by 127 Runs

India defeated Afghanistan 221/7 to 94, with Abhishek Sharma smashing a 30‑ball century. The win secures India’s dominance at home and sets the stage for the next leg of the home series.

India hammered Afghanistan 221/7 to 94 in the final T20I at Eden Gardens, with Abhishek Sharma’s 102 in just 30 balls sealing a 127‑run win.

Abhishek’s 30‑ball century is the fastest by an Indian in T20Is, eclipsing Rohit Sharma’s record and giving the openers a thunderous start.

The 102 came after Yuvraj Singh’s text—"don’t force the shots, rotate the strike"—prompting Abhishek to take singles and keep the ball moving; his approach paid off as the innings built.

India’s bowlers, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ravi Bishnoi, each took three wickets, bowling Afghanistan out for 94 and sealing the win.

With the series tally at 229 runs, Abhishek ends on a high and India’s emphatic victory cements their home dominance, setting the stage for the next leg of the home series.
