It's not always the bowlers who are in trouble on a batting haven but the objects encompassing the surroundings are in jeopardy. Such was the case with Abhishek Sharma who offered a blistering start with the bat and almost put himself in trouble by breaking an air conditioner in Johannesburg.

Eyeing to seal the series with consecutive wins, openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma complemented Suryakumar Yadav’s decision to bat first with an insane assault against the South African bowlers. They quickly piled up runs inside the powerplay against the pacers, gathering 30 runs in three overs. With Andile Simelane brought in the attack after a 14-run Lutho Sipamla over, Abhishek greeted him with a six that destroyed an Air conditioner situated over the rooftop of one of the stands.

The first ball of the fifth over saw Abhishek make room while charging down the track against a length ball over the stumps from Andile. The batter executed a perfect lofted drive with sheer timing, helping the ball maroon over the deep cover region. The ball gushed on top of the rooftop and the replays verified that the white cherry landed on an Air conditioner and shattered it then and there. Seeing the insane ball-striking ability from Abhishek, the Twitterverse was blown away.

What a player
