Abhishek Sharma smacked England for 13 sixes and a 37-ball hundred before taking two wickets in his only over as India won the fifth Twenty20 by a massive 150 runs.

MUMBAI: India’s Abhishek Sharma hit a brutal 135 to set up a crushing 150-run win over England in the fifth T20 international and seal the series 4-1 on Sunday.

Sharma’s batting style reminded one of the retired Yuvraj Singh, who loved decimating the bowlers. In 2007, Yuvraj lit up the Twenty20 World Cup when he smashed all six balls from England’s Stuart Broad into the stands en route to the fastest 50 off 12 balls.

England overcame Varun Chakravarthy’s 5-24 to beat India by 26 runs in the third T20 to keep the series alive.

Abhishek Sharma was the talk of the town in Mumbai last Sunday. With the five-match Twenty20 series clinched by the men in the blue team against England with a win at Pune (3-1), something pulsating as Sharma's ways with the willow were required to energise and rally the 35,000 partisan spectators at the BIG-W which is the Wankhede Stadium.
