Abhishek Sharma entered his name in the record books on Thursday, December 11, by becoming the second Indian cricketer to hit 50 T20I sixes in a calendar year. Abhishek opened the innings for India in the 214-run chase against South Africa in Mullanpur on Thursday and scored 17 runs from 8 balls. During his stay at the crease, he hammered two sixes for the Suryakumar Yadav-led side. The second six by Abhishek on Thursday was his 50th six in the 19th T20I match of 2025.

Before Abhishek, only one player from a full-member nation had managed to hit 50 or more sixes in T20Is in a calendar year. That feat was achieved by Suryakumar in 2022. In 2022, Surya played 31 T20I matches for Team India and smashed 68 sixes.
