Abhishek Sharma eyes major records in IND vs AFG 2nd T20I [Source: AFP]Swashbuckling Indian batter Abhishek Sharma got a magnificent start to the T20I series against Afghanistan. After India restricted the Afghans to a below-par score of 156 runs, Abhishek blazed his way through to a sensational 32-ball 82, scripting a comfortable win for the Men in Blue in the process. The fifty in the first T20I must've boosted the morale of Abhishek Sharma, who received a lot of flak for his lean patch in the three-match series against Zimbabwe. As the destructive opener aims to extend his dream run, here are three major milestones, including one involving Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, that he can achieve in the second T20I against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Most T20I sixes for India vs AfghanistanFormer captain and legendary opener Rohit Sharma holds the record for the most T20I sixes for India vs Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma has smashed 11 sixes against the Afghanistan team in T20I cricket. Virat Kohli, who ended his century drought with a 71st ton against Afghanistan, claims the second position on the list with nine sixes across five T20I innings. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma is not far behind the talismanic duo, occupying the third position with 7 sixes, which he struck in the opening encounter of the ongoing series.

On the other hand, if the left-hander smashes five sixes, he will overtake Rohit Sharma and register the most T20I sixes for India vs Afghanistan. Abhishek Sharma needs 5 sixes to go past Rohit Sharma and register the most sixes for India vs Afghanistan in T20Is. Most T20I runs for India: Abhishek on the verge of surpassing Shikhar DhawanAbhishek Sharma has had an impactful T20I career, amassing 1711 runs in 56 innings at an average of 31.68 and a blistering strike rate of 189.68. Former opening batter Shikhar Dhawan is placed above Abhishek on the list of batters with the most T20I runs for India with 1759 runs under his belt. Thus, if Abhishek scores 49 runs in the second match against Afghanistan, he will eclipse Shikhar Dhawan and statistically become India's sixth-highest run-getter and most successful left-handed batter in T20 Internationals. Most 50-plus scores for India vs Afghanistan in T20IsAbhishek Sharma hammered a match-winning half-century in his first-ever T20I outing against Afghanistan. He lit up the Arun Jaitley Stadium with his fireworks, registering his maiden fifty-plus score against the Afghans in the process. Interestingly, Shivam Dube, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have the joint-most fifty-plus scores for India in T20Is against Afghanistan. Dube, Kohli, KL and Rohit have two fifty-plus scores each in 4, 5, 2 and 6 innings, respectively. So, if Abhishek Sharma capitalises on the momentum and slams fifty runs or more in the second T20I, he will join Shivam Dube, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma for the joint-most fifty-plus scores for India vs Afghanistan in the shortest format.
