The short answer

Abhishek Sharma is an Indian left-handed batter. In the third T20I against New Zealand on 27 October 2026, the BCCI scorecard records 113 runs from 38 balls and names him Player of the Match.

The documented match performance

The official scorecard records New Zealand at 198/3 and India at 199/4 in 13.2 overs. Sharma's 113 from 38 balls was the leading individual innings in India's six-wicket chase. The scorecard is the best reference for the exact total, balls faced and match award.

How to read a high-impact innings

A large score can be described through total runs, balls faced, boundaries and strike rate, but those measures answer different questions. The innings total records the runs; balls faced indicate the time taken; and strike rate measures runs per 100 balls. A century milestone may occur before the player finishes the innings.

A profile grounded in public sporting records

BCCI's team announcements list Sharma in India's T20I squad for the New Zealand tour. This profile uses the official scorecard and squad announcement rather than speculating about private life, income or future selection. Squad decisions and form can change, so a dated match record is not a prediction of the next selection.
