Sharma shatters T20 century record as India sweeps Afghanistan

Sharma's record-breaking century represents the quickest T20I hundred ever recorded by a batter from a full-member cricket nation, surpassing the previous benchmark. The India opener's explosive batting display provided the platform for the hosts to post a substantial total at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the nation's capital.

The 30-ball century underscores Sharma's aggressive approach at the top of the batting order, a role that has increasingly become a focal point of India's T20 strategy. His willingness to attack from the outset placed immediate pressure on the Afghanistan bowling attack and set the tone for the remainder of the innings.

India's dominant performance across the three-match series demonstrates their superiority in the shortest format against their South Asian counterparts. The 3-0 sweep leaves no ambiguity regarding the gulf in quality between the two sides, with Afghanistan unable to mount a sustained challenge in any of the encounters. The convincing margin of victory in the final match further underscores India's comprehensive dominance throughout the series.
