India's T20I star Abhishek Sharma smashed a rapid double century, scoring 233 off 91 balls in a district-level match, highlighting his form contrast with the national side.
In a stunning display of power hitting, India’s T20I all‑rounder Abhishek Sharma racked up 233 runs in just 91 balls during a district cricket match held in the outskirts of Delhi.
The innings was marked by a flurry of boundaries, with Sharma hitting 20 fours and 12 sixes, taking the score to a staggering 233 in a single over of play. He was dismissed for a golden duck in the 92nd ball, but his rapid-fire performance left the opposition chasing a daunting target.
The match, part of the local inter-district competition, saw Sharma’s team comfortably win by 150 runs. Commentators noted that his aggressive batting style was a stark contrast to his recent international outings, where he has struggled to find form.
While the district match showcased Sharma’s explosive potential, selectors are reportedly reviewing his fitness and form ahead of the upcoming international fixtures, as his recent performances have not met the expectations set by his domestic brilliance.
