Indian opener Abhishek Sharma etched his name into history books during his attacking knock in the fifth and final T20I against Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday, November 8.

After being invited to bat first, Abhishek once again showed his aggressive intent and scored 23 off 13 before rain stopped the play.

During his attacking knock, the 24-year-old left-hander reached the landmark of 1,000 runs in T20Is, achieving it in a blistering fashion that broke his captain Suryakumar Yadav's record for the fastest to the milestone in terms of balls faced.

When it comes to deliveries, Abhishek is the fastest to the milestone, as he got to the landmark in just 528 balls, 41 quicker than Tim David’s tally of 569.
