September 19 holds a special place in Indian cricket. Back in 2007, Yuvraj Singh etched his name into history by smashing six sixes off Stuart Broad in a T20 World Cup clash. Now, exactly 18 years later, his protégé Abhishek Sharma has a golden chance to recreate that magic in the Asia Cup 2025. The left-handed opener, mentored by Yuvraj, could deliver the perfect tribute by repeating his guru’s iconic feat.

Abhishek Sharma in Red-Hot Form

Abhishek’s fearless batting has already turned heads in the tournament. In just two matches, he has scored 61 runs off 29 balls at a blistering strike rate of 210.34, peppered with five sixes. What stands out is his aggressive starts in the powerplay, giving India the momentum they need up front. With Oman as the next opponent, the possibility of fireworks only grows stronger.

September 19: Will the Disciple Match the Guru?

Just as Yuvraj scripted history on this date, Abhishek has the stage to produce a once-in-a-lifetime knock. His strike rate of over 200 in the Asia Cup so far shows he has both the intent and the range to attempt six sixes in an over. If he succeeds, September 19 could once again go down as a landmark day in T20 cricket—this time for a disciple emulating his mentor.

Records Within Reach

If Abhishek Sharma hits six consecutive sixes against Oman, he won’t just create history but also set new records:

• He will become the fastest to reach 50 sixes in T20 Internationals. Currently, he has 46 sixes in 18 innings.

• Phil Salt holds the record for 50 sixes in 320 balls; Abhishek has reached 46 in just 305 balls, giving him 14 deliveries to surpass Salt.

With his form and fearless approach, Abhishek Sharma now stands on the brink of a record-breaking moment—one that could beautifully mirror the legacy of his mentor, Yuvraj Singh.
