Abhishek Sharma credited preparation and a clear game plan for his stunning 113 off 38 balls against New Zealand, saying he had “manifested” the innings. His partnership with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi produced a record 118-run powerplay, powering India to a six-wicket victory. Mentor Yuvraj Singh playfully challenged him to break his 12-ball T20I fifty record, while praising Abhishek’s explosive performance.
