The date is the same, the format is the same. The disciple also comes from the same player who created history 18 years ago. Yuvraj Singh, who became the first batsman in T20 International by hitting 6 sixes in 6 balls of Stuart Broad on September 19, 2007. Now it’s his turn, who learned the basics of cricket from Yuvraj Singh. There is an opportunity and also a custom, so why not take advantage of it? This must be going on in the mind of the left-handed explosive Indian opener Abhishek Sharma. He would not only like to refresh the 18-year-old memories associated with September 19 but would also be thinking of giving a gift to his guru i.e. Yuvraj Singh.
Abhishek Sharma’s ability is now known to the world. He has the potential to hit 6 sixes in 6 balls. And, when the team is Oman, the possibilities increase. So which disciple would not want to take advantage of such an opportunity for his guru? Looking at Abhishek Sharma’s current form, it can be said that nothing is impossible.
In the 2 matches played so far in the T20 Asia Cup 2025, Abhishek Sharma has batted at a strike rate of 210.34. Playing in this aggressive style, he has scored 61 runs in just 29 balls with 5 sixes. The special thing about his batting in both the matches was that he started it with boundaries. The effect of his fast start was that India got the start in the powerplay that it needed in both the previous matches.
But, the most important thing to note in the last two matches was Abhishek Sharma’s strike rate, which was above 200. This means that the bat can roar even louder against Oman. If this happens, then once again the date of September 19 can be recorded in the pages of the history of T20 International cricket. This time the world can see a disciple doing wonders like his guru.
Not only this, if Abhishek Sharma hits 6 sixes in 6 balls against Oman, then he will become the batsman to score fifty sixes in the fewest innings. Currently, Abhishek has 46 sixes in 18 T20I innings. Apart from this, Abhishek Sharma can also record the record of scoring 50 sixes in the fewest balls against Oman. Phil Salt has done this in 320 balls. Whereas, Abhishek Sharma has hit 46 sixes in 305 balls played so far. That means he has 14 balls to overtake Salt.
