Abhishek Sharma scripts history, breaks Suryakumar Yadav's T20I record

Abhishek Sharma has established a new benchmark for scoring efficiency in T20 Internationals, becoming the quickest player to reach 2000 runs based on balls faced. He achieved this feat in 1024 deliveries, surpassing the previous record of 1164 balls held by Suryakumar Yadav.

Aaron Finch occupies the third position on this list, having required 1283 balls to reach the same milestone. This accomplishment is particularly notable given that Sharma only began his international career in July 2024.

The Haryana-born all-rounder, who also contributes with his left-arm spin, has demonstrated immense scoring power, including a record-breaking 135-run performance against England earlier in 2025.
