Indian cricket team's star opener Abhishek Sharma is in great form these days. He has created a lot of havoc with the bat in the ongoing T20 series against Afghanistan. Team India has achieved an unassailable 2-0 lead by winning the first two matches of the series. Now the third match will be played on 17th September at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

India will be eyeing to win this match and clean sweep Afghanistan 3-0.

At the same time, Abhishek Sharma would also like to maintain his dangerous rhythm. The special thing is that in the third T20, Abhishek has a chance to make not one, but 3 big records in his name. Let us tell you about those three records.

1. Can become the Indian who hits the most number of sixes against Afghanistan

Abhishek Sharma is just one six away from becoming the Indian batsman who has hit the most sixes in T20 International against Afghanistan. Currently he has 11 sixes in his name and he has equaled former Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit had hit 11 sixes in 6 T20 matches against Afghanistan.

If Abhishek hits another six in the third T20, he will overtake Rohit.

Not only this, he also has a chance to become the batsman who has hit the most sixes in T20 International between the two countries. This record is currently in the name of Afghanistan's veteran Mohammad Nabi, who has hit 13 sixes. Abhishek needs 3 sixes to break this record.

2. If you score one more fifty, you will join a special club.

Abhishek scored his first T20 half-century against Afghanistan by scoring 82 runs in the first match of the series. In the second match, he was out for 39 runs and missed his second consecutive fifty.

If Abhishek once again crosses the 50-run mark in Delhi, then he will join the special list of batsmen who have scored the highest 50+ score for India in the T20 International against Afghanistan.

Currently, Shivam Dubey, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have two 50+ scores each against Afghanistan. Abhishek currently has one such score in his name and as soon as he scores a fifty in the third match, he will jointly join these legends in this list.

3. Shivam Dubey's record is also in danger

Abhishek Sharma is not just eyeing the record of sixes and half-centuries.

He also has a chance to become the Indian batsman who has scored the most runs against Afghanistan in a T20 series. Abhishek has scored 121 runs in two matches so far. His average is 60.50 and strike rate is 237.25. He has hit 7 sixes and 11 fours so far in this series.

Shivam Dubey currently holds the record for scoring the most runs in a T20 series against Afghanistan. He scored 124 runs in 3 matches in the 2024 series. That means Abhishek is just 3 runs away from equaling this record and 4 runs away from breaking it.

If Abhishek scores 4 runs in Delhi, he will leave Shivam Dubey behind and create a new record.
