During the first T20I against England in Durham, his explosive 59-run knock off 24 balls secured this historic world record.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Abhishek&#8217;s milestone came on a historic day for Indian cricket, with 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi making his international debut to become the youngest player ever to feature in a men&#8217;s T20I. After winning the toss, India captain Shreyas Iyer elected to bat first, with Abhishek opening the innings alongside debutant Sooryavanshi.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Speaking about India&#8217;s depth during toss, Iyer said the fierce competition for places is a positive sign for Indian cricket and believes that &#8220;pressure is a privilege,&#8221; as it pushes players to perform at their best.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>&#8221;It&#8217;s game after game like the amount of talent India produces over the last couple of months and years. I think it&#8217;s pleasing to the eye and also it keeps us especially on the toes as well throughout the series. Because pressure is a privilege, I feel. And if you perform under pressure, you reap the benefits as well,&#8221; Shreyas during toss.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Playing XIs<br \/><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">India:<\/span> Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Harshit Rana, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">England: <\/span>Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/india-tour-of-england\/historic-day-abhishek-sharma-completes-50-t20is-as-vaibhav-sooryavanshi-makes-record-breaking-debut\/articleshow\/132182570.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abhishek Sharma (Pic credit: BCCI) India opener Abhishek Sharma celebrated a significant milestone in second T20I against England as he made his 50th T20I appearance at Old Trafford in Manchester.
