Thanks to the all-round performance of young star Abhishek Sharma, India defeated England by 150 runs in the fifth and final T20 match on Sunday. By winning this match played at Wankhede in Mumbai, Team India won the five-match series 4-1. The three-match ODI series will start between the two teams on February 6. Abhishek scored 135 runs in 54 balls. After his explosive batting, his mentor Yuvraj Singh has reacted. At the same time, coach Gautam Gambhir could not stop himself from smiling when Varun Chakraborty took a catch during the match.
Yuvraj's reaction to Abhishek's innings
After Abhishek's innings, Yuvraj tweeted, 'What a brilliant play Abhishek! This is what I want to see you doing. I am proud of you.' Whenever Abhishek Sharma performs well, Yuvraj does not shy away from tweeting. Earlier, when Abhishek scored 79 runs in 34 balls in the first T20, Yuvraj tweeted sarcastically. He wrote, 'Good start to the series for the boys! The tone set by our bowlers was well carried forward by our batsmen. Abhishek Sharma, good innings!! I am impressed that you hit two boundaries down the ground.' The 24-year-old Abhishek scored his half-century in just 17 balls in Mumbai and then completed a brilliant century in just 37 balls. He reached his century in just 10.1 overs during the innings, which was the fastest in the history of T20 cricket.
Gambhir's reaction to Varun's catch
At the same time, Gambhir's reaction is also going viral. India took some great catches in the outfield, but India's head coach Gautam Gambhir could not stop himself from reacting to Varun Chakraborty's attempt at long-on. The incident happened on the first ball of the eighth over when Brydon Carse tried to hit a six off Abhishek's ball, but Varun caught the ball near the boundary line. It was not an easy catch as Varun had to cover much ground. Reacting to the catch, Gambhir, sitting in the dugout near the boundary, gave a surprising reaction. He was seen appreciating the catch by raising his hand. This is because Varun is not considered one of the best fielders in India. He has also dropped catches many times. In such a situation, perhaps Gambhir was also surprised to see good fielding.
India won by 150 runs.
India scored a huge score of 247/9 in 20 overs. Then the bowlers of Team India showed amazing performance by taking wickets at regular intervals and bundled out England for just 97 runs. Varun Chakraborty, Abhishek Sharma, and Shivam Dubey took two wickets each. Mohammed Shami took a maximum of three wickets. India's win by 150 runs is now the second-largest win by run margin in T20 Internationals after the 168-run win over New Zealand in 2023. However, the match belonged to Abhishek, as he hit seven fours and 13 sixes in his innings of 135 runs off 54 balls and registered his name in the record books.
