Former England cricket captain Kevin Pietersen termed Abhishek Sharma’s 135 as “phenomenal”.

The 44-year-old said on Tuesday at a promotional event in the city: “His was the best T20I innings I have ever seen. The stroke play was phenomenal. There was no hanky-panky reverse sweep, scooping, sweeping, ramping rubbish. It was the most unbelievable stroke play. Not many T20 batters can make a hundred in 35 balls and play the perfect innings.”
