Mumbai witnessed a grand cricketing spectacle on Sunday as Team India locked horns with England in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. The high-octane clash attracted a star-studded audience, with dignitaries like UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, and tech visionary Narayan Murthy in attendance. Adding to the glamour, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, accompanied by his son and fellow actor Abhishek Bachchan, was spotted enjoying the pulsating contest from the corporate box.
Social media was abuzz with snapshots of the father-son duo, where Amitabh, draped in a white hoodie, and Abhishek, proudly donning a Team India jersey, were seen deeply engrossed in the game.

The highlight of the evening, however, was the sensational innings played by young Indian opener Abhishek Sharma. The southpaw delivered a batting masterclass, registering the second-fastest century by an Indian in T20I cricket. His blistering knock came off just 37 balls, leaving the English bowling attack in tatters.
After English captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to field, pacer Mark Wood provided an early breakthrough by dismissing Sanju Samson for a quickfire 16 off 7 deliveries. But any hopes of an English resurgence were soon dashed as Abhishek Sharma unleashed an explosive assault, dispatching the bowlers to all corners of the ground with remarkable ease.
With impeccable timing and a fearless approach, the left-hander propelled India to a commanding position, ensuring a memorable end to the series. His breathtaking knock not only entertained the spectators but also cemented his reputation as one of India’s most promising young cricketers.
