IND vs ENG 5th T20I Live Score: Abhishek Sharma slams 37-ball Hundred; Sachin Tendulkar Praises

In the final T20I game of 5 match series between India and England, held at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, young batter Abhishek Sharma stuck an explosive ton. In his blitzkrieg inning, Sharma completed his half-century on just 17 balls and then completed hundred on off 37 balls. The splendid inning was laced with 10 sixers and 6 fours.

He also clinched the record of second-fastest fifty by an Indian in T20Is, following Yuvraj Singh's record.

Lauding Abhishek Sharma's great inning, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar shared a video of young cricketer completing his ton and celebrating.

England won the toss and opted to field first, influenced by pitch conditions and boundary dimensions. The pitch report indicated a decent batting wicket but not one for exceptionally high scores. Both teams made notable changes; Mark Wood returned for England, while Mohammed Shami replaced Harshit Rana for India.

India's innings began with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma opening. However, Samson struggled with form and was dismissed early by Mark Wood. Despite this setback, India's momentum remained strong as Sharma and Tilak Varma propelled the team forward. England managed to dismiss Varma, providing some respite amidst India's aggressive batting.

The series had already been secured by India with a 3-1 lead.
