Abhishek Sharma sets Indian T20I bowling record in series win over Zimbabwe

India's T20I series against Zimbabwe ended in a clean sweep, with the hosts posting a 219/5 total aided by Ishan Kishan's 81 runs and Tilak Varma's unbeaten 60. The team chased down the target to win the match by 90 runs and secured the series.

Opening batsman Abhishek Sharma recorded a mixed performance. His batting yielded just 11 runs across the three matches, the lowest tally among Indian top‑7 batsmen in the series. However, he broke new ground with the ball, taking 3 wickets for 17 runs – the best bowling figures by an Indian opener in T20I cricket – joining the historic clubs of Vino Mankad and Ravi Shastri.

Sharma's dual record highlighted both his struggles with the bat and his decisive impact with the ball, while India completed a dominant 3‑0 series victory over Zimbabwe.
