Record‑Breaking Knock: Sharma’s 59 Off 24 Balls Leads India Past England

India’s batting line‑up stumbled early, losing Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan for just six runs. Captain Shreyas Iyer then promoted Abhishek Sharma, who steadied the innings with an aggressive 59 from 24 balls. His strike rate, boosted by four sixes and six fours, propelled India to a competitive total. The partnership of 82 runs in 38 balls with Iyer rescued the side, and Sharma’s swift fifty set a new benchmark for the fastest half‑century by an Indian in England, breaking the previous record held by KL Rahul.
