Abhishek Sharma completes 400 T20 sixes, breaks past Chris Gayle in two records

During the Asian Games men's cricket gold-medal match against Pakistan, Indian opener Abhishek Sharma delivered a striking knock of 61 runs from only 28 deliveries. His aggressive innings featured seven maximums and three boundaries, propelling India toward a total of 211 for six in their allotted twenty overs alongside contributions like Tilak Varma's rapid half-century.

Beyond the immediate match result, Sharma's performance marked a pair of major career milestones in the shortest format of the sport. He reached a career total of 400 T20 sixes in 3,513 balls, bypassing Chris Gayle to claim the second position on the all-time list behind Andre Russell.

Additionally, Sharma became the second-fastest batter to record 100 T20 sixes within a single calendar year, taking 651 deliveries to surpass both Dewald Brevis and Gayle.
