IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I: The Indian team is currently touring Zimbabwe for a 5 match T20I series. The Indian team is still fresh out from their current T20I World Cup, but this not the same team that has travelled to Zimbabwe. Stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have already announced their retirement from the shortest T20I format and the team stationed in Zimbabwe is currently being led by Shubman Gill. India faced a shocking defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in the first T20I, but they have comeback in style in the second contest.

India youngster Abhishek Sharma blew apart other franchise with his fierce batting while playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. The left-handed batter scored runs for fun and scored them at a brisk pace while batting the opposition out of the game on many occasions. A lot was expected out of Sharma when he was announced to be a part of India's squad that was to tour Zimbabwe for a five match T20I series. Abhishek's first outing in the India colours was disappointing as he couldn't get off the mark. But Sharma turned around things very quickly for him by scoring 100 off 47 balls.

In his slam bang kind of an innings, the SRH youngster hit 7 fours and 8 sixes. Sharma scored these runs with a strike rate of 212.77. This innings has caught the eyes of India's very own Mr. 360, Suryakumar Yadav who took to Instagram and shared a story for the India youngster.
