Overview
- On Sunday in Amritsar, Abhishek Sharma scored 233 off 91 balls for Amritsar Men Senior in a district 50‑over game against Tarn Taran Men Sr.
- His innings featured 15 fours and 25 sixes and helped Amritsar post 533 for 8 before Sharma was caught off Ashish Lowrance.
- Video clips of his boundary hitting circulated widely on social media and the footage quickly went viral.
- Sharma’s double century arrives after a run of low scores for India, including six recent T20I innings of 10, 16, 3, 1, 8 and 2 and a difficult T20 World Cup showing.
- Selectors and commentators say the knock can rebuild confidence but that performance against stronger bowling in A‑team, franchise or international fixtures ahead of the Asian Games in September and the home series in October will be decisive for his India place.
