(Picture Credit: AFP)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Abhishek Sharma is playing as an opening batter for Team India in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 match against Pakistan on Sunday, September 21. In the Super 4s match taking place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Abhishek has hammered three fours and two sixes so far (at the end of 6 overs). Abhishek opened his account by hammering Shaheen Shah Afridi for a six on the first ball of the 172-run chase, and he smashed his second six on the fifth ball of the fourth over bowled by Abrar Ahmed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The six off Abrar\u2019s bowling helped Abhishek take his tally of maximums to 50 in T20Is. He has reached the 50 sixes mark in T20Is in just 331 balls. He is the fastest player from full member teams to score 50 sixes in T20Is.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>Fewest balls to 50 sixes T20Is (FM Teams)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>331 balls \u2013 Abhishek Sharma (India)<\/li>\n<li>366 balls \u2013 Evin Lewis (West Indies)<\/li>\n<li>409 balls \u2013 Andre Russell (West Indies)<\/li>\n<li>492 balls \u2013 Hazratullah Zazai (Afghanistan)<\/li>\n<li>510 balls \u2013 Suryakumar Yadav (India)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Before Abhishek, the record was in the name of West Indies batter Evin Lewis. The left-handed batter needed 366 balls to hit 50 sixes in the 20-over format of the game for Men in Maroon. For India, before Abhishek, Suryakumar Yadav was the fastest batter to hit 50 sixes in T20Is. Surya needed 510 balls to complete a half-century of sixes in T20Is.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\"><strong>105-run partnership with Gill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">In the 172-run chase against Pakistan, Abhishek added 105 runs in 9.5 overs for the first wicket with Shubman Gill. Gill faced 28 balls during his stay at the crease on Sunday and, with the help of eight fours, scored 47 runs. He was sent back to the pavilion by Faheem Ashraf. On the fifth ball of the 10th over of India\u2019s innings, Ashraf breached Gill\u2019s defence and shattered his stumps.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">India\u2019s captain Suryakumar Yadav walked out to bat at No. 3, but he failed to open his account. He was sent back to the pavilion for a three-ball duck by Haris Rauf. Surya tried to play a big shot against the express pacer but was caught by Abrar Ahmed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-792197085 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-792197085 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>September 21, 2025, 23:00 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-792197085 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Abhishek Sharma Becomes Fastest Batter In The World To Hit 50 Sixes In T20Is<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
