Abhishek Sharma says having support from captain Shubman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir is “very important,” as he backs himself to perform. He makes the statement after scoring a record 30-ball century in India’s third and final T20I against Afghanistan in Delhi.
Sharma’s 108 off 34 balls, including 11 sixes, helps India post 221/7. India then complete the series with a 3-0 sweep, winning by 127 runs. Both outlets focus on the same innings and result, tying his success to the backing he receives, rather than presenting different evaluations of his performance or the match.
Across the two reports, the key details—his record century, the ball-by-ball return (34 balls), the number of sixes (11), India’s total (221/7), and the margin of victory (127 runs)—are consistent. The difference is primarily in wording, with the Times of India and Yahoo Sports repeating the same quotes and outcome.
