Abhishek Sharma Goes All Guns Blazing vs England

Abhishek Sharma was the star of the just finished first Twenty20 International between India and England at Eden Gardens. The 24-year-old hit a 20-ball fifty to help India defeat the visitors handily and take a 1-0 series lead. Since they led the game from the first ball, the hosts enjoyed an almost ideal day. The Three Lions were held to 132 runs by India thanks to periods from Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy, who established the tone with the ball. Sanju Samson started well in the reply, but Jofra Archer's two wickets in one over, including the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav, who scored a duck, put England back in the hunt.

Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma was unfazed by the wickets an played his natural game. The southpaw smashed 79 (34), which featured eight sixes and five fours. Further, the opener brought up his fifty in 20 balls and too in style by whacking Overton for a six.
