Abhishek Sharma hit a 30-ball century - the fastest in a T20 international between two full-member nations - in India's 127-run victory in the third T20 against Afghanistan in Delhi.

Opener Abhishek, who was knocked off the top of the T20 batting rankings in July, continued to make 108 from 34 balls, hitting nine fours and 11 sixes in India's 221-7.

The 26-year-old reached three figures in the ninth over - at that stage India were 132-0 - having scored a remarkable 96 of his 100 runs in boundaries.
