Abhishek Sharma Scores 113 in India’s T20I Win Against New Zealand
After scoring 113 runs off 38 balls, Abhishek Sharma dismissed Yuvraj Singh's challenge of a 12-ball fifty as unrealistic.
Abhishek Sharma scored 113 runs off just 38 balls during India’s third T20I match against New Zealand, leading his team to a six-wicket victory.
After his performance, he responded to a playful challenge from cricket legend Yuvraj Singh, who had jokingly stated that he still couldn’t score a fifty in just 12 balls. Sharma expressed skepticism about achieving Yuvraj’s feat, stating, “It’s not that easy at all.” He noted that chasing such milestones is not the primary focus for batters.
Sharma credited his success to solid preparation and support from the coaching staff. He emphasized the importance of adapting to conditions and bowlers, saying, “I feel it’s not that, I wouldn’t say it’s easy, that easy, but it’s just the preparation behind the scenes.” He also acknowledged the contribution of his teammate Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose strong start in the innings helped set the tone for the team.
The victory reflected the team’s planning and execution, as Sharma aimed to continue this momentum throughout the series. His performance earned him the Player of the Match award.
