At the same time, Abhishek has also registered the record of making the highest individual score for India in T20 International. Earlier this record was in the name of Shubman Gill. Gill scored 126 runs against New Zealand in Ahmedabad in January 2023.

England weakened

England has the firepower to chase a target of 248 runs, but the Mumbai Wankhede wicket did not suit its batsmen and they kept losing wickets one after the other. On the first ball of the third over, Mohammad Shami gave India its first breakthrough by dismissing Ben Duckett (0). However, Phil Salt was scoring runs at a fast pace from the other end, but on the first ball of the fifth over, Varun Chakravarthy dismissed England captain Jos Buttler and England's innings started falling apart.

From here, England lost wickets in every over till the 10th over. By this time, England had lost eight wickets for just 90 runs. Harry Brook (2), Liam Livingstone (9), Jacob Bethell (10), Baryden Carse (3), Jamie Overton (1) returned to the pavilion. Salt scored 55 runs with the help of seven fours and three sixes in 23 balls and fell prey to Shivam Dubey. Shami ended England's innings by taking two wickets in the 11th over.

From India's side, Shami took three wickets, Varun, Dubey and Abhishek took two wickets each and Ravi Bishnoi got one wicket. Abhishek has become the first Indian to score a century and take a wicket in the same T20 match.

Abhishek's magic

England captain Butler won the toss and asked India to bat first. Sanju Samson could not take his innings much further after hitting a six on the very first ball. Mark Wood again ended his innings with a short ball. He scored 16 runs off seven balls. Tilak Verma played an innings of 24 runs off 15 balls. Captain Suryakumar Yadav again failed and could score only two runs.

Meanwhile, Abhishek was continuously thrashing England's bowlers. Shivam Dubey also supported him in this. Dubey was out after scoring 30 runs in 13 balls. He hit three fours and two sixes. In the end, Akshar Patel strengthened the team by scoring 15 runs in 11 balls. Abhishek was out on the last ball of the 18th over. His record innings gave India a strong score, which the bowlers took full advantage of. Dailymintz
