India crushes New Zealand 3‑0 in the third T20I after Abhishek Sharma demolishes 113 off 38 balls—an innings that ran through the middle and left the hosts scrambling for answers.
The opener laced the score with nine fours and 11 sixes, reaching his century in just 35 balls before the ball was finally taken by Kyle Jamieson, with Glenn Phillips snatching the catch at deep mid‑wicket.
Yuvraj Singh, who had mentored the young left‑hand, posted on X, “I can’t make 100 off 30 or 34 balls 😜 Well played sir @OfficialAbhi04!”—a playful nod to Abhishek’s lethal pace and the occasional rotation of strike that kept the bowlers on edge.
Beyond the bat, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Sanju Samson’s solid support at number three and the bowlers’ disciplined spell kept the score under 200, giving India a comfortable 40‑ball cushion to chase the target.
With New Zealand left with just two matches to win, India’s triumph cements a 3‑0 series lead and propels the team into the final contest on Thursday, where the battle for outright supremacy will resume.
