Overview
- Abhishek enters the second T20I with 98 sixes from 775 balls and must hit two sixes inside his first 36 balls to become the fastest to 100 sixes in T20 Internationals.
- If he achieves the mark in the match scheduled for June 28 in Belfast he will beat Karanbir Singh’s current T20I benchmark of 813 balls.
- The milestone would also make Abhishek the fifth Indian with 100 or more T20I sixes, joining Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya.
- Coverage notes a data distinction between T20I-only records and all-T20 records, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi holding the overall T20 fastest-to-100 mark at 515 balls from non-international matches.
- Reports are pre-match previews and give slightly different venue names for the June 28 game (Stormont and Civil Service Cricket Club), and none confirm whether Abhishek reached the milestone.
