Abhishek Sharma's explosive batting lit up Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium during the fifth T20I against England, where he notched up an incredible century in a mere 37 balls. This remarkable innings, peppered with 5 fours and 10 sixes, has put India in a commanding position. Initially, Sharma raced to the second-fastest fifty by an Indian in T20Is in just 17 balls, only behind his mentor's record of a fifty in 12 balls. He then swiftly moved from fifty to a century, taking another 20 balls to reach the landmark. Thanks to Sharma's blistering performance, India has amassed a score of 184/4 in just 13.4 overs, indicating a potential total well beyond the 250 mark by innings' end.

India's performance in the ongoing T20I series against England has been dominant, with the team already securing the series by winning three of the first four matches. Sharma's century has only bolstered India's position, making the prospect of a win in the fifth match seem nearly certain. His rapid scoring not only demoralized the English bowlers but also set the pace for a formidable Indian total.

"Havoc at the Wankhede" aptly describes Sharma's innings, as he left spectators and commentators alike in awe. His ability to convert a swift fifty into a century is a testament to his skill and determination. This inning has not only set a high bar for batting performances but has also significantly contributed to India's strong standing in the match. The team, riding on Sharma's extraordinary achievement, looks set to surpass the 250-260 run mark by the conclusion of their 20 overs, setting a challenging target for England.
