Abhishek Sharma smashed 50 sixes this year and has 19 T20 matches to go. He might hit 100 sixes before 2024 ends. The fresh Indian opener boasts a strike rate of 185.77. This rate tops the list of the best 50 batters who scored at least 1,000 runs since last year.
Abhishek made a splash in his first week playing for India in Harare. He stepped up big time filling in for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In his second T20I match, he smashed a century off just 46 balls. Even though he had a couple of low-scoring games, you could see his aggressive style shining through. He loves to aim for those deep mid-wicket sixes. On his debut, he tried to hit one out of the park but ended up getting out for a duck. But he bounced back in his second game. He hit a six in the very first over and then went on to score a hundred. Talk about making an impression!
Abhishek kept his strike rate over 200 during the whole IPL season. He started slow in the second T20I vs Zimbabwe but sped up after a dropped catch smashing 72 runs from his next 23 deliveries. He’s now the quickest Indian to hit a T20I hundred when you look at innings played.
Abhishek’s steady showing in the IPL and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy got him a place at the top of India’s batting order. From 2023, he’s whacked 93 sixes in all T20 games. This puts him at number six worldwide and second among Indians, with Suryakumar Yadav ahead of him.
Abhishek smashed 50 sixes in just 19 innings this year as an opener. He hits sixes faster than other top-order batters blasting one every 7.33 balls. , he’s got more sixes (50) than fours (44) in 2024. Sixes make up over half his total runs, with 300 out of 594 coming from big hits.
Abhishek might soon beat the Indian top-order record for most T20 sixes in a year. Right now, Yashasvi Jaiswal holds this record with 57 sixes in 2023. Suryakumar Yadav has the overall Indian T20 record hitting 85 sixes in 2022. Abhishek hits hard and loves sixes. He could maybe even reach 100 sixes by year’s end.
