Abhishek Sharma delivered one of the most explosive knocks of Indian Premier League 2026, smashing an unbeaten 135 off 68 balls for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Delhi Capitals on April 21 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The young batter opened the innings after Axar Patel chose to field and he maintained his dominant performance throughout the match which led SRH to a total of 242 runs with two wickets lost.
The left-hander maintained complete dominance of his inning as he struck 10 fours and 10 sixes. The opposition bowlers struggled against his powerful batting style which allowed him to score runs at any time while he batted through the entire match to help SRH achieve one of their highest seasonal scores.
