Abhishek Sharma has etched his name into cricketing history by becoming the first-ever cricketer from a full-member nation to smash 50 boundaries in a single T20I series or tournament. The milestone came during India’s Super 4s clash against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 26, 2025, in the ongoing Asia Cup.
Opening the innings for India, the young left-hander has been in sublime form throughout the tournament. Across six matches, Abhishek has hammered 31 fours and 19 sixes, making him the most dominant boundary-hitter in the competition’s history.
Historic Knock Against Sri Lanka
Abhishek reached the milestone with a blistering 61 off 31 balls against Sri Lanka, a knock that featured 8 fours and 2 sixes. This sensational performance further underlined his explosive batting style and cemented his place as one of the brightest stars in world cricket today.
Before Abhishek’s record-breaking spree, the previous record belonged to Tillakaratne Dilshan, who hit 49 boundaries (46 fours and 3 sixes) during the 2009 T20 World Cup.
