The second match of the T20I series between India and Zimbabwe has been all about the young India batter Abhishek Sharma. The opening batter has stolen the limelight with his brutal power hitting and has put his team in a strong position in the second game.

Abhishek Sharma, who bagged a 4-ball duck in the first game, made sure that he set the stage on fire and made up for his duck in the second game. The opening batter came out all guns blazing and took the attack to Zimbabwe right from the ball 1.

Abhishek Sharma opened his account with the massive six and after that didn't look back. The left-hander made sure that he took his team off to a flying start. Even though, India lost Shubman Gill, the opening batter looked unfazed and kept going hard at the bowlers.

Abhishek Sharma although got a bit lucky but made sure that he made the bowlers pay for it. The left-hander exhibited high-class batting as he made Zimbabwe National Cricket Team bowlers look clueless and smashed them all over the park.

Abhishek Sharma raced away to his half-century as he slammed 28 runs in the 11th over and then didn't look back. He kept going hard at the bowlers and made sure that he brought up his maiden international ton. He hit three consecutive sixes to notch his maiden ton.

Abhishek Sharma ended with an innings of 100 runs off 47 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 212 and also hit 7 fours and 8 sixes in his innings. Based on his terrific innings, India went past 200 runs on the board.

Good thing about Abhishek Sharma is that he does not stop hitting boundaries. He does not look for a single after a four or six.
