Abhishek Sharma's debut was just forgettable. What he has been doing in international cricket since then is, in a word, incredible. The left-handed batsman, who made his debut in the 'grandfather's' cricket by 'calling' him against Zimbabwe, scored the second century of his career today. Abhishek got his first century in the very next match after his debut. He scored it in 46 balls. Today he scored his second century against England. That too in a murderous mood.
