Abhishek Sharma breaks T20I record with seventh first-ball six

Sharma's record-breaking six came in the first over as India began their highest successful T20I chase, finishing the job in 19.4 overs.

Abhishek Sharma broke the world record for most first-ball sixes in T20Is during India's four-wicket win over New Zealand in Christchurch. The left-hander lofted Matt Henry's sixth delivery of the match for six, taking his career tally to seven and moving two clear of Suryakumar Yadav. Sharma scored 29 off 12 balls before India chased 226 with two balls to spare.
