At 25, Abhishek Sharma is already in his eighth season at Sunrisers Hyderabad. Having been traded to the franchise after just one season with Delhi Capitals in 2018, the southpaw from Punjab has acquired an imposing aura in orange, garnering the unconditional affection of a quintessentially easy-going Hyderabadi crowd with his daring stroke-play.

On Tuesday night (April 21, 2026), Abhishek’s stature at Sunrisers rose further as his second IPL hundred helped the side hammer his former franchise by 47 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
