Abhishek, Sooryavanshi set new world record in India's 3rd T20I

Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made history during the third T20 international against New Zealand by establishing a global benchmark for the fastest hundred-plus opening partnership in the men's format. The Indian pair accumulated 133 runs inside seven overs at an incredible scoring rate of 18.13 runs per over, eclipsing the previous mark held by Jos Buttler and Phil Salt.

Abhishek contributed a blistering 113 from just 38 deliveries, while teenager Sooryavanshi added 45 off 18 balls to help chase down a target of 199. India eventually completed a six-wicket triumph in 13.2 overs to sweep the series three-nil.
