Abhishek Sharma and Yuvraj Singh (Instagram and PTI)
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh was left in awe of Abhishek Sharma ‘s explosive century against New Zealand, joking that even he could not score a hundred in 30 or 34 balls, as the young opener powered India to a six-wicket victory in the third T20I on Tuesday. Abhishek smashed 113 off just 38 deliveries, reaching his century in 35 balls as India chased down New Zealand’s target with 40 balls to spare. The emphatic win gave India an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. “And I can’t make 100 of 30 or 34 balls 😜 Well played sir @OfficialAbhi04! 3 as a complete team man! Well-bowled by our bowlers to keep the score under 200! India’s six-wicket win secured a 3-0 lead in the five-match series, leaving New Zealand with two games to salvage some pride.
Great innings aur apne single bhi le liye 🤷🏻♂️ Good stuff on the other end by #VaibhavSooryavanshi! Devastating combination! Hats off to @IamSanjuSamson, playing at no. Great series win 👌 congratulations Team India 🇮🇳,” Yuvraj wrote on X.
