In a moment that has touched the hearts of cricket fans around the world, Abhishek Sharma’s sister Komal Sharma posted a heartwarming video capturing their parents’ ecstatic reaction to his maiden T20I century during the ongoing Zimbabwe vs India series. The video, which has quickly gone viral, shows the proud parents erupting in joy as they watch their son completing his hundred.

Abhishek Sharma’s remarkable achievement

Abhishek Sharma, the young Indian cricketer, scored his first T20I century in the second T20I against Zimbabwe. His century was a standout performance, showcasing his skill, determination, and potential to become a mainstay in the Indian cricket team. The innings was not only a personal milestone for Abhishek but also a crucial contribution to India’s victory.

After being dismissed for a duck on his international debut (July 6), Abhishek bounced back in spectacular fashion. His explosive knock (100 off 47), alongside an equally brilliant Ruturaj Gaikwad, orchestrated India’s dominant batting display in the second T20I.

Following the early dismissal of skipper Shubman Gill, the duo stitched together a magnificent 137-run partnership, anchoring the Indian innings. While Abhishek blazed his way to a century, Ruturaj provided crucial support with an unbeaten 77 off 46 balls. The late flourish from Rinku Singh (48 off 22) further propelled India’s total to a formidable 234/2. This score proved too much for the Zimbabwean bowling attack, which had troubled India in the series opener.
