Young Abhishek Sharma delivered a powerful and graceful performance with a 46-ball century that spearheaded India to a monumental 234 for two against Zimbabwe in the second T20 International on Sunday.

This total marked India's highest ever against Zimbabwe in T20 Internationals, a significant rebound after a surprising collapse in the first match. After a tough debut where he scored a duck, IPL's leading Indian six-hitter demonstrated his prowess by smashing eight sixes and seven fours.

Teaming up with Ruturaj Gaikwad (77* off 47), Abhishek added 137 runs for the second wicket, taking full advantage of a dropped catch early in his innings. His brutal assault, including an array of elegant and powerful shots, turned the game in India's favor. Despite a brief setback, the partnership continued to flourish, showcasing top-class cricketing skills and resilience. Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh also contributed significantly to India's commanding total, capitalizing on Zimbabwe's fielding lapses.
