India crush England in record T20 defeat

England suffered their heaviest T20 defeat as Abhishek Sharma’s stunning 135 off 54 balls powered India to a 150-run victory in Mumbai, sealing a 4-1 series win.

The 24-year-old opener set a new record for the highest T20I score by an Indian, blasting 13 sixes and seven fours to propel India to 247-9.

In response, England crumbled to 97 all out in just 10.3 overs, with only Phil Salt (55) showing resistance.

Mohammed Shami took 3-25, while Abhishek also chipped in with 2-3. England’s first white-ball series under coach Brendon McCullum ended in humiliation, highlighting a gulf in performance.
