Captain Ayushmann praises Sharma’s innings as the highlight of clean‑sweep

New Delhi – The final T20 clash of the India‑Afghanistan series ended with India cruising to a 127‑run win, sealing a 3‑0 whitewash on September 17.

Abhishek Sharma’s batting heroics stole the spotlight. He compiled 108 runs off 34 balls, peppering the field with 11 sixes and nine boundaries. Completing his century in just 30 balls, Sharma set a record for the fastest T20 hundred by a full‑member nation.

India set a daunting target of 221 for seven before Afghanistan could muster only 94 runs in 14.1 overs.

Captain Ayushmann Ayyar lauded Sharma, saying the wicket was tough but the batting was “spectacular”. He also praised the team’s aggressive start, rapid middle‑over run‑scoring, and the experience of bowler Akshar Patel, who claimed two key wickets.

The captain’s comments underscored the collective effort and strategic planning that enabled India to dominate the series from start to finish.
