"It Was My Day," Says Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek scored 141 runs in just 55 balls, the highest-ever by an Indian in IPL history. His knock helped Sunrisers Hyderabad chase down a massive 246-run target, making it the second-biggest successful chase in IPL.

Battling Illness & Pressure

Despite being sick with fever just days before the match and facing pressure after a few bad innings, Abhishek stayed positive. Support from cricket legends Yuvraj Singh and Suryakumar Yadav helped him believe in himself again.

Team Spirit Kept Him Going

Even with a four-match losing streak, the SRH team stayed positive. Abhishek said no one in the team had a negative mindset—they all believed something big was coming. And that night, it finally happened.

Partnership That Changed The Game

Abhishek and Travis Head put on a 171-run opening stand, breaking records and destroying Punjab Kings’ bowling attack. Abhishek’s innings had 24 boundaries and 10 sixes—the most ever by an SRH player in one match.

Simple Talks, Big Impact

Abhishek shared how he and Travis Head kept things simple on the field. They supported and motivated each other, which helped them play freely and fearlessly.

Special Tribute to Hyderabad

For Abhishek, the records didn’t matter. What mattered most was playing for the fans and the city. He was just waiting for his moment—and when it came, he gave it everything.
