Abhishek Sharma's record 30-ball century powers India to 3-0 T20I series sweep
Abhishek Sharma's record 30-ball century powers India to 3-0 T20I series sweep

Abhishek Sharma's returns in international cricket haven't been the best since the T20I World Cup in March. The runs have come at a premium for him. He wasn't going to let this opportunity re-establish himself as India's undisputed first-choice opener in T20Is even as the buzz around 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi only keeps growing. He finished the series with 209 runs off 85 balls.
