Against Zimbabwe, Abhishek Sharma smacks 100 off 46 deliveries
At the Harare Sports Club, two days could hardly be more dissimilar from one another. Rationed cartridges of sporting highs are available for Sikandar Raza's soldiers.
Zimbabwe would have therefore hoped to bask in the glory of handily defeating India in the first Twenty20 International a little while longer. Sunday, though, was distinct. Within a day, India effectively put an end to what appeared to be another uprising at the same location.
The hosts' brief happiness was tempered by India opener Abhishek Sharma's booming riposte, which banished the low of bagging a duck on debut.
In the opening over of a 116-run chase on Saturday, Brian Bennett's off-spin hushed Abhishek's daring blade. With the intention of starting his international career with a maximum, he holed out to deep mid-wicket.
Despite honing his skills on quicker wickets during the IPL this year, the youthful left-hander quickly came to the realization that Harare was not Hyderabad.
