Abhishek Sharma's belligerent knock
England's fast bowlers Jofra Archer and Mark Wood were bowling at speeds around 150kph on a regular basis but Abhishek used his feet to smash them all over the park. He didn't spare the spinners and put Adil Rashid under the pump.
Abhishek struck 135 off 54 balls and struck 7 fours and 13 sixes during his knock. It was an innings to remember from the youngster who probably made himself tough to be dropped from the team. He also finished as the highest run-getter of the series with 279 runs in 5 matches at an average of 55.80 and a strike rate of 219.68.
