Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma shattered the Twenty20 International scoring records with a blazing 30-ball century against Afghanistan in Delhi, aiding India in a 3-0 series sweep with a decisive 127-run victory. His 108-run inning eclipsed the previous national record set by Rohit Sharma.

Partnering with Samson’s 50 off 35 balls, India amassed a formidable 221-7 despite Afghanistan opting to bowl first. The visitors faltered in their chase, stumbling to 47-4 early and collapsing for a dismal 94 runs.

India’s bowlers, led by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ravi Bishnoi’s impressive wicket hauls, dismantled the Afghan batting order. Despite the loss, Afghanistan captain Zadran expressed optimism over future improvements. India will next engage Japan before their upcoming Asian Games challenge.
