Abhishek Sharma is another teenage all-rounder who has often been overshadowed by a flurry of batting prodigies like Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill in the youth cricket set up. The 19-year-old cricketer bats in the lower middle-order and is known to tonk the ball all over the park towards the fag end of the innings. In addition to that, he bowls some handy left-arm spin and was traded by Delhi Capitals, along with Vijay Shankar and Shahbaz Nadeem, to the Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the 2019 edition. In exchange, DC got hold of experienced Shikhar Dhawan, their local boy.

The Punjab cricketer displayed his hard-hitting abilities a couple of years ago when he smashed a 19-ball 46 to help the Delhi Capitals reach a decent total against Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2018.

At IPL 2020, Abhishek can be expected to play a key role in the SRH set up, especially after the departure of Yusuf Pathan and Deepak Hooda. The balance that he brings for the 2016 champs makes him the uncapped all-rounder to watch out for in the upcoming edition of the T20 extravaganza.
