Abhishek Sharma vs Rohit Sharma T20I Stats After 34 Matches: Indian cricket fans are witnessing the rise of a new T20I powerhouse. Following his breathtaking 84 off 35 balls against New Zealand in Nagpur on January 21, 2026, Abhishek Sharma has rewritten record books and sparked comparisons with none other than Rohit Sharma at the same stage of his international career.
After 34 T20I matches, the contrast between the two batters highlights how dramatically the shortest format has evolved. Rohit Sharma, during his early T20I years around 2013, was still shaping his identity as an opener, focusing on timing and stability. Abhishek, on the other hand, has embraced the modern T20 template — explosive intent, fearless strokeplay, and relentless boundary-hitting from ball one.
