Abhishek Sharma, at 24, is quickly establishing himself as a powerful T20 cricketer with multiple record-breaking performances and remarkable self-belief. Influential figures like Yuvraj Singh and strong support from team management have played a significant role in his rapid rise and success.

It has not yet been a full year since the Punjab batter arrived at the international stage on the back of high promise in domestic cricket, including an immensely successful IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024.

In his 54 balls-guided innings, Abhishek smashed 135 runs against England, which included 13 sixes and seven fours, leading India to score a whopping 247/9 in 20 overs.

Legendary India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who has mentored Abhishek Sharma, was all praise for the 24-year-old following the India vs England 5th T20I.

After being the star of India’s crushing 150-run win over England in the fifth T20I at Mumbai with his all-round efforts, Abhishek Sharma said the belief of playing for the national team came from former white-ball great Yuvraj Singh kept him going.

Abhishek Sharma hoped that mentor Yuvraj Singh will be a happier person after the India opener slammed a record-breaking 135 runs against England in the fifth T20I on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium, in Mumbai.
