Power-hitter Abhishek Sharma put up an explosive cameo for Sunrisers Hyderabad during their IPL 2025 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Friday. The 24-year-old southpaw lit up the powerplay with a rapid 34 off just 17 balls, maintaining a stunning strike rate of 200.00. His entertaining knock included three boundaries and three towering sixes, giving SRH an aggressive start at the top.
A standout moment of his innings came during the fifth delivery of the second over. Facing veteran RCB pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhishek latched onto a short-pitched ball and effortlessly launched it over mid-wicket for a maximum. The powerful hit made headlines when it crashed into the windshield of the IPL 2025’s official car, leaving a visible mark on the vehicle and adding a dramatic moment to his brief but impactful innings.
