Abhishek Sharma, at 24, is quickly establishing himself as a powerful T20 cricketer with multiple record-breaking performances and remarkable self-belief. Influential figures like Yuvraj Singh and strong support from team management have played a significant role in his rapid rise and success.

In a format as unpredictable as T20 cricket where batters experience failures more than success, India's newest power-hitter Abhishek Sharma has learnt quite early that self-belief and fearlessness are essential to increase his chances of success at the highest level.

On Sunday, in India's big win against England in the fifth T20I, Sharma finally did what the former India all-rounder wanted. Sharma stayed at the crease for 54 balls and went to record the highest individual score by an Indian in T20Is.
