Sent into bat first, India were off to a flier with Abhishek Sharma clobbering the likes of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Brydon Carse all over the park.

An attacking batter just like Yuvraj Singh, Abhishek Sharma first raced to a 17-ball fifty before reaching three figures in 37 balls, becoming the second-fastest Indian to a T20I hundred.
