SunRisers Hyderabad celebrated a thrilling win over Delhi Capitals, powered by Abhishek Sharma’s sensational ton. The opener’s unbeaten 135 from 68 deliveries, laced with 10 boundaries and 10 maximums, helped SRH post 242/2. Their bowlers then restricted DC to 195, sealing a 47-run triumph and handing Abhishek his seventh Player of the Match award for the franchise.
This achievement in his 81st SRH game saw him eclipse Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s previous record of six awards. Bhuvneshwar, SRH’s long-serving pacer who featured in 145 matches before moving to RCB in IPL 2025, had held the mark since his debut in 2014. Abhishek’s rise signals a new era for the Hyderabad-based outfit.
Notably, this century was Abhishek’s second for SRH, joining elite company with Warner and Klaasen. His prior IPL 2025 knock of 141 against Punjab Kings showcased his penchant for carnage. SRH’s batting firepower, led by such performances, positions them as serious contenders.
Abhishek’s journey from promising talent to record-breaker inspires young cricketers. With the IPL intensifying, his form could be the difference-maker. SRH fans are buzzing with excitement over this record-shattering night.
