The 24-year-old Abhishek, who made his First-Class debut in 2017 for Punjab & played in the 2018 U-19 World Cup, reached his century in just 37 balls, which marks the second-fastest century by an Indian.

"This team is ready for the 2026 T20 World Cup. India defeated England by defending as well as chasing. We have players who can break the opposition. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill made their debut under me. When I was the captain, I asked for them to be included in the Ranji Trophy. I am so happy to see their progress," Harbhajan Singh said this on his YouTube channel. 

"I want Abhishek Sharma to bowl regularly. When he came the first day, I told him he is a good bowler. His seam position is great. He does not work hard on his bowling as much as he does on his batting. I always tell him, he can improve his bowling. He has all the qualities to be a good left-arm spinner. His father has worked hard on him. Abhishek is making his family proud. It's not easy to score 100 off 37 balls. Kya kha raha hai bhai breakfast mein (What are you having for breakfast)?" 

"He is a fearless batter be it any format. I am happy to see his progress. It gives me immense pride that both of them are from Punjab. Both Shubman and Abhishek don't joke much with me. I don't know why they are afraid of me. Maybe when they are together, they do mazaak. But when I come, they become serious. Maybe it's because of respect. Then I leave," Harbhajan Singh added further.
