Abhishek Sharma chance to surpass Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The T20 series starting against South Africa is no less than a big opportunity for Abhishek Sharma. In this series, he will not only have a chance to overtake Vaibhav Suryavanshi but will also have a chance to break two big records. Now the question is, in which respect will Abhishek Sharma be ahead of Vaibhav Suryavanshi? And apart from that, what are the other records that he will break? All these records targeted by Team India’s left-handed explosive opener are related to his performance in T20 cricket in the year 2025.
Abhishek Sharma will come ahead of Vaibhav Suryavanshi
First of all, let us know that how can Abhishek Sharma leave Vaibhav Suryavanshi behind? This race between Abhishek and Vaibhav is about the centuries they have scored in T20 this year. At present, both these players have scored 3 centuries each in the year 2025. Now Vaibhav Suryavanshi does not have to play any T20 match this year. But, Abhishek Sharma has a 5 T20 series against South Africa, in which he can leave Vaibhav Suryavanshi behind by scoring his fourth T20 century of this year.
Sahibzada Farhan’s record may be in danger
If Abhishek Sharma overtakes Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the T20 series against South Africa, then he will equal the record of most T20 centuries scored by Pakistan batsman Sahibzada Farhan in the year 2025. Sahibzada has 4 T20 centuries. After leaving Vaibhav behind, Abhishek will also have 4 centuries. But he will definitely have a chance to surpass Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan and take the record completely in his name in the T20 series against South Africa. Meaning for that he will have to score at least 2 centuries in the T20 series.
Eyeing the record of most sixes in the year 2025
How can it happen that Abhishek Sharma plays and does not hit sixes? He has already become the only Indian to hit 100 plus sixes in T20 in a year. Now in the year 2025, Abhishek, who has hit 101 sixes in T20, will have a chance to break the record of Austria’s Karanbir Singh. Karanbir Singh has hit 122 sixes in T20 this year while playing for Austria. If Abhishek wants to break this record, he will have to hit 22 sixes in 5 matches of the T20 series against South Africa.
