Abhishek Sharma smacked England for 13 sixes and a 37-ball hundred before taking two wickets in his only over as India won the fifth Twenty20 by a massive 150 runs.

(Reuters) -Abhishek Sharma's magnificent century powered India to a 150-run win over England in the fifth and final T20 international at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, resulting in a 4-1 series triumph.

England slump to a record T20 defeat as Abhishek Sharma's scintillating century powers India to a 150-run win in Mumbai.

Concussion substitute Harshit Rana has taken 3-33 on debut and India has beaten England by 15 runs to win the Twenty20 series with a match to spare in Pune.

India will look to deploy a high-octane, attacking style in Twenty20 Internationals and are ready to accept the risks that come with it, head coach Gautam Gambhir said after his side beat England to clinch a 4-1 series victory.

The India vs England ODI series will start on Thursday, February 6, with a match at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.

The 50-over World Cup is far older and has been competed for since back in 1975. Australia are the record winners having run out victorious on five occasions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015). England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord's.

India's ideology to play an aggressive brand of cricket, irrespective of the situation, was evident in the previous three T20Is against England.

The tourists needed to win the fourth T20I as well to stay afloat in the series. However, Jos Buttler and Co. suffered a 15-run defeat to lose the series. One of the major talking points in cricket news from the last game was Harshit Rana replacing Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute and making an impact.
