Gautam Gambhir labeled Abhishek Sharma's ton as the best-ever, saying that he has not seen a better century in T20 cricket from a batter against the pacers, who bowl at 140-150 kmph consistently.
The explosive opener Sharma went berserk against the English bowlers right from the start and smashed them all over the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The left-handed batter wasn't done there as he accelerated even further and continued his destruction with the bat, making the opposition bowlers look clueless.
Abhishek eventually finished with the score of 135 runs off 54 balls. This was the highest individual score for an Indian batter in T20Is, surpassing 126* by Shubman Gill against New Zealand, and was also the second-highest against England behind Aaron Finch's 156 in Southampton.

Abhishek Sharma's sensational hitting left Gautam Gambhir astonished as the head coach, while speaking on Star Sports, heaped praise on the opening batter and said that he hasn't seen a better T20 ton. He said:
We are going to do this going forward, got to play fearless cricket. We want to keep backing players like Abhishek Sharma. We have to be patient with these boys. Most of these boys believe in the ideology of playing fearless cricket," he added.
