In the fifth T20I of the current series against England, star opener Abhishek Sharma was blazing. In addition to the top cricket players who competed in the series’ final match, a lot of popular figures attended the thrilling match, which took place at Mumbai’s famous Wankhede Stadium.
Mukesh Ambani, the owner of Reliance Industries Limited, was also in the grandstand, and he picked the ideal day to watch cricket since Abhishek Sharma’s performance with the bat was outstanding. Sharma became India’s second-fastest century in T20 internationals after reaching his century off just 37 balls.
For his blitzkrieg against the Three Lions, Abhishek Sharma received a standing ovation from Ambani, who also owns the Mumbai Indians, an IPL franchise.
Ambani’s applause went viral on social media right away, and admirers who were just as thrilled as Ambani quickly contributed to the moment’s widespread virality. Popular Bollywood star Aamir Khan was also present, and he responded to the knock in a manner akin to that of the seasoned business magnate.

Speaking more about Abhishek’s knock, the left-handed batsman won Player of the Match for his all-around performance, which included hitting an incredible 135 runs off just 54 balls and taking a few wickets in the one over he bowled. This helped India defeat the Jos Buttler-led team by an impressive 150 runs.
“Coming for the nation is always a wonderful feeling, and it’s a particular hundred. I always attempt to start from the first ball when I realise it’s my day. as well as how I was handled from the first day by the captain and coach. They have consistently supported me and desired this goal. You need to be prepared a bit sooner when your opponents are bowling 140, 150, or more.
Simply respond to the ball and execute my strokes. It’s always fantastic to hit a top-tier bowler over the covers [off Archer], but I also thought the strokes against Adil Rashid were excellent. Yuvraj Singh, his mentor, should likely be pleased today. At the post-match presentation, he stated, “I’ve tried to implement his constant request that I bat into the 15th and 20th overs.”
