The opening over yielded 26 runs, setting the tone for the rest of the innings.Although Sooryavanshi departed after scoring 45 off 20 balls, Abhishek continued his assault and took India closer to the target at a remarkable pace.

Abhishek Sharma creates history, shatters multiple records with 35-ball century

Abhishek Sharma's record-breaking show powered India to a series-sealing win over New Zealand in the third T20I at Hnry Stadium in Wellington on Tuesday.Abhishek was on an absolute carnage as he slammed his fourth T20I century, ending at 113 from 38 balls to help India gun down the 199-run target in just 13.2 overs with six wickets in hand. The victory helped India take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.Apart from his fourth T20I century, this was Abhishek's 11th T20 ton, which is now the most by an Indian player in the shortest format. He went past Indian veteran Virat Kohli, who slammed 10 centuries in T20s.This has put Abhishek in third place among the players with most T20 tons, only behind Chris Gayle (22) and Babar Azam (13).While Abhishek slammed another jaw-dropping knock, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, promoted to the opening role for this game, also impressed with 45 from 19 deliveries as record books tumbled and New Zealand bowlers faced the brunt of the Indian batters.India smashed the highest-ever team total in a men's T20I powerplay, hitting 118/0 in the first six overs. This has now become the highest-ever score for a team in a powerplay, going past the previous highest of Romania, who had made 116/0 against Serbia in a T20I in 2021.The two batters made a mockery of the depleted New Zealand bowling attack as they went hammer and tongs behind the target. India also breached the 100-run mark in just five overs, which is the second-fastest by any team in the world, behind Eswatini, who had completed their team hundred in 4.5 overs against Mozambique earlier this year.The Men in Blue also brought up their fifty off just 2.2 overs, which is now the joint-fastest by any team in the world. Papua New Guinea made a team fifty in 2.2 overs against Vanuatu; while Romania had also completed their 50 in 2.2 overs against Serbia.It was a very tough outing for the New Zealand bowlers, who were already missing Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson due to fitness issues. Returning Kyle Jamieson and Matthew Fisher, and captain Mitchell Santner managed to take wickets, with Jamieson scalping two and other taking one each. Jamieson got the prized wicket of Abhishek for 113 in the 10th over, while Fisher accounted for Sooryavanshi (45) in the eighth over.Jamieson struck once more later when he got Sanju Samson for 18, and Santner dismissed Shreyas Iyer for five in the 13th over when the Indian skipper holed one out on deep mid-wicket. But the damage was already done, as Tilak Varma (1) and Naman Dhir (4) took India home in the 14th over to win by six wickets.Earlier, Daryl Mitchell's career-best T20 score of 89* from 52 balls took the hosts to 198/3 in the first innings. The Kiwis were cruising well till the halfway stage of the first innings, as they were 100/2 after 10 overs, but the hosts seemingly ran out of steam as India also displayed good defensive bowling at the back end of the innings to not let them go past 200.Mitchell's innings was the highlight as he carried the New Zealand innings through and batted for the majority of the innings. He remained unbeaten on 89 from 52 balls as his scoring dropped a bit in the final few overs, while Bevon Jacobs made 39 from 23, but the final punch lacked from the Kiwis.The Kiwis were at 123/3 after 12 overs as they looked for a final flourish, but the Indian bowlers adapted well to the conditions and bowled fuller and yorkers, as the straight boundaries here are long and the square ones are shorter.Only 63 runs came from the final seven overs as India bowled good defensive lines. Four different bowlers were used for the death overs, and the visitors did well to keep a lid on the hosts.India have now taken an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the five-match series, clinching yet another T20I series against the Kiwis.Brief Scores: New Zealand 198/3 (Daryl Mitchell 89*, Finn Allen 40; Arshdeep Singh 1-33, Axar Patel 1-36) lost to India (Abhishek Sharma 113, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 45; Kyle Jamieson 2-45, Mitchell Santner 1-17) by six wickets.

IND vs NZ 3rd T20I: Abhishek's 35-ball ton powers India to 6-wicket win

Sanju Samson's prolific run in the shortest format of the game continued to reach new milestones after he equaled Ishan Kishan's benchmark for the most 50-plus scores by an Indian batter in a single calendar year in T20 Internationals.    Samson achieved the feat on Thursday during the opening T20I against New Zealand, where he struck an explosive 67 off just 33 deliveries, laced with eight boundaries and four sixes. The half-century marked his eighth 50-plus score in T20Is in 2026, drawing him level with fellow wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan.Most 50-plus scores for India in a calendar year in T20Is11 - Suryakumar Yadav in 2022 9 - Virat Kohli in 2022 9 - Abhishek Sharma in 2026 8 - Ishan Kishan in 2026 8 - Sanju Samson in 2026A Stellar Year In Blue JerseySamson has turned 2026 into a breakthrough chapter in his international career. Earlier in the year, he played a central role in India's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, where his consistency and match-winning knocks earned him the Player of the Tournament honor.  His rich vein of form extended through the recent bilateral series against the West Indies - where he recorded consecutive scores of 82 and 56 - before producing another masterclass against New Zealand.Opening the innings alongside Abhishek Sharma (29 off 12 balls), the duo put together a blistering 93-run stand inside the powerplay to power India to 94/1 in six overs, marking one of India's highest powerplay totals in T20I cricket history.  Ishan Kishan’s Parallel RunIshan Kishan has also enjoyed a prolific 2026, amassing over 1,150 T20I runs at a high strike rate, including a century and multiple fifties.He recently became only the second Indian (after Suryakumar Yadav) to score 1,000 T20I runs in a calendar year and has hit more than 50 sixes this year. His consistent returns in the middle order have complemented the explosive opening pair of Abhishek and Samson.⁠With several matches remaining in the New Zealand series and more fixtures likely before the year ends, both Samson and Kishan (as well as Abhishek Sharma) remain in contention to climb higher on the list.Samson, in particular, is well-placed to challenge Kohli’s mark of nine if he continues his current form.

Sanju Samson equals Ishan Kishan for huge T20I record after fifty vs New Zealand

India's dynamic opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson etched their names into the history books during their match-winning partnership in the 1st T20I against New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday.  Chasing a formidable target of 226, the duo of Abhishek and Samson set the tone from ball one, stitching together an explosive 93-run partnership for the first wicket, helping India beat New Zealand by 4 wickets and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.⁠  During their sensational 93-run opening partnership, Abhishek and Samson equalled the Indian all-time record for the most 50-plus opening stands in a single calendar year in T20 Internationals.Joining Rohit Sharma &amp; KL RahulBy crossing the fifty-run partnership mark for the fifth time in 2026, Abhishek and Samson matched the benchmark set by the duo of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who registered five 50-plus stands in 2021.Most 50-plus opening stands for India in a calendar year (T20Is)5 - KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma in 20215 - Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill in 20255 - Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson in 20264 - Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma in 2018Notably, this also marks the second consecutive calendar year where Abhishek Sharma has featured in five 50-plus opening partnerships, underlining his meteoric rise as an indispensable fixture at the top of India’s white-ball batting order.Fireworks at Hagley Oval: Setting The StageFacing a daunting 226-run target set by New Zealand - powered by Glenn Phillips' blistering 82 - India needed an explosive start. Abhishek Sharma provided immediate momentum, setting a world record by dispatching Matt Henry for a six off the very first ball of the innings.  Abhishek blitzed 29 off just 12 deliveries (2 fours, 3 sixes) at a strike rate of 241.67 before falling inside the powerplay. Samson anchored the early assault while simultaneously matching the aggression, hammering 67 off 33 balls with 8 fours and 4 sixes.The pair raced to a 93-run stand in just 5.5 overs, dislodging the Kiwi bowling attack and laying the ideal foundation for India’s middle order.  Useful contributions from Shreyas Iyer (42 off 28) and Naman Dhir (42 off 15) ensured India chased down the 226-run target with 4 wickets in hand and two balls to spare.Redefining T20 Openings For 'Men in Blue'The Samson-Abhishek combination has emerged as the cornerstone of India’s aggressive T20I template throughout 2026. With fearless strokeplay, boundary-hitting intent from ball one, and seamless left-right complementarity, the duo has consistently dismantled bowling attacks across home and away conditions.With more games remaining on the tour of New Zealand, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson now stand just one fifty-run partnership away from taking sole ownership of the all-time world-record tally for any Indian opening pair in a calendar year.
