Abhishek Sharma hits 100 T20 sixes for the second year running in 2026

Abhishek Sharma created history by becoming the first batter to smash 100 T20 sixes in two straight calendar years, reaching the milestone during the Asian Games gold medal match against Pakistan on October 3, 2026. The explosive left-handed opener hammered 61 runs from 28 deliveries, which included seven maximums, while also notching his 400th career T20 six as the second-fastest player to achieve the feat.

Sharma previously set the Indian record in 2025 by launching 108 sixes across formats, placing his current pace just behind West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell, who holds the all-time record for speed to the century milestone within a single year.
