Young Abhishek Sharma announced his arrival on the big stage with a breathtaking 46ball century as India pumZimbabwe by a melled whopping 100 runs in the second T20I to restore parity in a resounding fashion here Sunday.
This is India's biggest margin of victory in terms of runs against Zimbabwe in T20Is.
The young Indian side didn't carry the baggage of a shock-13-run defeat in the series-opener as left-handed opener Abhishek blended power with grace for a scintillating 100-run knock that propelled India to a massive 234 for two on a track where batting wasn't exactly easy.
The ask was already stiff and Indian bowlers got breakthroughs at regular intervals to bowl out Zimbabwe for 134 in 18.4 overs to set the record straight.
Pacers Mukesh Kumar (3/37) and Avesh Khan (3/15) removed the top-order inside the Powerplay to kill the contest which became a formality after that. The day certainly belonged to Abhishek, who mixed grace and power in equal measure in an innings, embellished with eight sixes and seven fours.
