The SRH batter, whi made his T20I debut last year, has already smashed two T20I tons, and now becomes one of only few Indians to smash multiple hundreds in the format.
List Of Indian Players With Fastest T20I Tons
- 35 - Rohit Sharma vs Sri Lanka in Indore, 2017
- 37 - Abhishek Sharma vs England in Mumbai, 2025
- 40 - Sanju Samson vs Bangladesh in Hyderabad, 2024
- 41 - Tilak Varma vs South Africa in Johannesburg, 2024
- 45 - Suryakumar Yadav vs Sri Lanka in Rajkot, 2023
Abhishek Sharma has also gone past Aaron Finch for astonishing record, as the retired Australian great held the record for fastest-ever T20I ton against England with a 47-ball century.
He is now only the second Indian batsman in the history of T20I's to score a century in less than 40 balls. Rohit Sharma still holds the record for fastest-ever T20I ton by an Indian, as 'The Hitman' smashed a 35-ball ton against Sri Lanka at Indore in 2017.
Abhishek Sharma's ton has propelled India to a score of 200+, and the 250-run mark looks probable from here on.
