Abhishek hits fastest century in full-member T20s

Abhishek delivered a record-setting performance for India, smashing the quickest hundred recorded by a full-member nation in T20 international cricket. This milestone eclipsed Finn Allen's 33-ball benchmark set for New Zealand versus South Africa during this year's T20 World Cup, while also representing Abhishek's third international century and his tenth across all T20 competitions.

Remarkably, it was not his personal best, having previously compiled a 28-ball hundred representing Punjab against Meghalaya during the 2024 Indian domestic season.

Throughout his innings against Afghanistan, the dynamic left-handed batter punished the opposition seamers with assertive pull shots while launching the spin attack straight back over their heads. 1 overs following his dismissal caught behind off Rashid Khan.

The Afghan batting lineup subsequently folded for just 94 runs in pursuit, confirming a comprehensive 3-0 series victory for the hosts.
