The Indian opener has now moved ahead of former captain Virat Kohli on the list of Indian batters with the most T20 centuries, adding another milestone to his growing reputation in the shortest format. The Wellington show was his 11th century in the format, surpassing Kohli, who had 10 T20 hundreds.
Abhishek is now behind Chris Gayle and Babar Azam in the list of players with the most hundreds in T20 cricket. It is a remarkable record given that Sharma only made his T20I debut in 2024.
