Yuvraj Singh praised the team’s outstanding performances
In response to Abhishek’s brilliant century, Yuvraj praised the young opener’s strategy and jokingly likened the knock to his own batting exploits. I am also unable to make 100 of 30 or 34 balls 😜 Excellent innings and a single bhi le liye, sir @OfficialAbhi04! 🤷🏻♂️ Excellent work by #VaibhavSooryavanshi on the other end! A powerful combination! Bravo to @IamSanjuSamson, who plays at number three and is a true team player! “Excellent series victory! Well-bowled by our bowlers to keep the score under 200! Congratulations, Team India,” Yuvraj wrote on X. In the match that ends the series, Abhishek Sharma scores an incredible century.
In the third Twenty20 International against New Zealand at Wellington on October 27, 2026, Abhishek Sharma delivered an incredible knock. The left-handed batsman propelled India to a dominant position after reaching his half-century in just 15 balls and his fourth T20I century off 35 deliveries.
His aggressive strategy at the top of the order put tremendous pressure on the New Zealand bowlers and helped India win the series. Sanju Samson settles into No. 3 while Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines.
At the other end, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 45 runs off just 19 deliveries, giving Abhishek outstanding support. India got off to a fast start after the opening pair put together an incredible 133-run partnership in 7.1 overs.
Yuvraj also commended Sanju Samson for adjusting to the No. 3 role, characterizing his choice as an indication of a full-fledged team player.

By holding New Zealand to fewer than 200 runs, India’s bowlers matched the batting unit’s outstanding performance. With two games remaining in the series, the visitors were able to maintain control of the game thanks to their disciplined performance.
With contributions from both the young batters and the bowling unit being vital in securing the series, the comprehensive victory demonstrated India’s depth and attacking strategy.
