The left-hander reached the 100-run mark against England off 37 balls, making it the second-fastest T20I century on Indian soil and the second-fastest by an Indian batter overall.

He has scored approximately 45 per cent of his runs through sixes in India, the most by any batter (minimum 10 innings), surpassing his mentor Yuvraj Singh (43.93%).
Roughly 71 per cent of his runs in India have come against fast bowlers at a strike rate of approximately 200.

He is the only batter to maintain a strike rate of 200 or more in the UAE in T20Is (minimum 100 balls faced).
Abhishek holds the record for the most runs in a single T20I tournament in the UAE, collecting 314 runs in seven innings during the 2025 T20 Asia Cup.
