India opener Abhishek Sharma made a huge jump of 38 places in the latest ICC T20I rankings following his fantastic knock of 135 runs from just 54 deliveries against England in the fifth T20I of the series which was held in Mumbai.

Abhishek’s fantastic knock saw India post a mammoth total of 247/9 in their 20 overs. The target of 248 proved to be too much for the visitors who got bundled out for just 93 runs as India recorded a 4-1 series victory over The Three Lions.
