England slumped to a record T20 defeat as Abhishek Sharma’s scintillating century powered India to a 150-run win in Mumbai.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 24-year-old opener blasted 135 from 54 balls – the highest score by an Indian batter in a T20 international – including 13 sixes and seven fours as the hosts reached 247-9.<\/p>\n
Chasing a near insurmountable target, Jos Buttler’s side crumbled in their reply and were skittled for just 97 in 10.3 overs – a record defeat by margin of runs – as they lost the series 4-1.<\/p>\n
Having been put into bat on a good surface at the Wankhede Stadium, India blew England away in the powerplay – reaching 95-1 after the first six overs.<\/p>\n
Abhishek reached his fifty from 17 balls, then powered on to reach his century in 37 deliveries – the third fastest in a match between Test-playing nations.<\/p>\n
He hit his 13th and final six, another national record, one ball before he was finally dismissed, caught on the cover boundary by Jofra Archer off Adil Rashid.<\/p>\n
Phil Salt did his best to keep England up with the required rate, hitting 55 from 23 at the top of the order, but no other batter passed 10 in a dismal chase.<\/p>\n
India seamer Mohammed Shami took 3-25, while Abhishek claimed 2-3 from his single over, removing both Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton.<\/p>\n
Mark Wood was the last batter to fall, caught behind on review, with England ending their first white-ball series under coach Brendon McCullum with one of their heaviest defeats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
