In the recently concluded T20I series, his back-to-back fifties and a scintillating century caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. His average strike rate of over 150 and an impressive average in 2025 so far have made him one of the most feared openers in the format.

With this achievement, Abhishek joins the legacy of Indian cricketers who have previously held the No.1 ranking in T20Is, including Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav. His rise reflects India’s depth in cricketing talent and the successful grooming of youngsters in high-pressure formats.

Cricket experts believe Abhishek’s performance is just the beginning of a promising international career. His adaptability against pace and spin, fearless hitting, and calm demeanor under pressure have drawn comparisons with some of the finest modern-day T20 players.

As India prepares for upcoming global tournaments, Abhishek Sharma's form will be key to the team’s aspirations. Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the milestone, hailing him as the "next big thing" in Indian cricket.
