2.

Fastest century as a full member team batsman

Abhishek's century in 30 balls is not just an Indian record. It has also become the fastest T20I century scored by a batsman from any Test playing country.

Earlier this record was jointly held by Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe and Finn Allen of New Zealand. Both of them had scored centuries in 33 balls.

3. Abhishek made a world record in powerplay also

Abhishek's storm did not stop just till his century. He broke the back of Afghanistan's bowling in the first 6 overs of the innings itself.

Abhishek faced 22 balls in the powerplay and scored unbeaten 76 runs. This is the most runs scored by a batsman during the powerplay in men's T20 International.
