Abhishek Sharma Career

Ad

Abhishek Sharma has a bright future ahead of him thanks to his flamboyant style and elegant bat swing, coupled with a useful slow left-arm orthodox. Being mentored by the legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, Sharma believes that when the ball is there to be hit, it stays hit, and wants to establish his brand of fearless cricket.

Abhishek Sharma Domestic Career

On return from the victorious Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2018 campaign, Sharma featured in the 2018 Vijay Hazare Trophy for his state Punjab. He featured in the ACC Emerging Asia Cup 2023 and finished as the top scorer for India A in the final against Pakistan A with 61 runs off just 51 balls, but could not get India A past the line as they lost by a huge margin of 128 runs.

Sharma had a terrific season with the bat in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023-24, where his team, Punjab, won the tournament, and he earned the Player Of The Series award for scoring 485 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 192.46 and an average of 48.50, including two centuries.

Abhishek Sharma IPL Career

Acquired by Delhi Daredevils for INR 55 lakh (USD 85,000) at the IPL auction in January 2018. On May 12, 2018, he made his Twenty20 debut, playing for the Delhi Daredevils in the 2018 Indian Premier League, and went on to score 46 runs off just 19 balls. His whirlwind inning brought him a lot of eyeballs, but unfortunately, he didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his talent.

In 2019, he was one of three players who went from Delhi to Sunrisers Hyderabad to pave the way for Shikhar Dhawan to move in the other direction. His Sunrisers Hyderabad debut came against Delhi itself, where he took the big wicket of Colin Munro.

Ad

Sharma was retained ahead of the likes of Sunrisers legends David Warner and Rashid Khan for INR 6.50 crores ahead of the IPL 2022 auction, which raised quite a few eyebrows. But Sharma justified his retention when the Sunrisers management entrusted the youngster, as he found his groove as an opening batter, and he started to improvise on his form. He scored 426 runs at a strike rate of 133.13 in IPL 2022 and scored 226 runs in IPL 2023, which turned out to be a disastrous season for the Sunrisers as they finished last on the table.

Backed by the management, Sharma formed a potent partnership with new Aussie recruit Travis Head as the deadly left-handed duo smashed records for fun and won matches at ease at the top of the order. They stitched 100+ partnerships twice within the powerplay, becoming the first duo to do so as records kept on tumbling.

Ad

He amassed 484 runs at a staggering strike rate of 204.22 and smashed three half-centuries as the Sunrisers finished as the runners-up in IPL 2024. Though he had bossed the league stage, a beauty of a delivery by Mitchell Starc in the final of IPL 2024 cleaned him up for a single-digit score as Sunrisers were bowled out for the lowest score in an IPL final by the Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Abhishek Sharma International Career

Ad

On the back of his IPL blitzkriegs, Abhishek Sharma was drafted into a new-look T20I side for India’s tour of Zimbabwe as the seniors were to be rested after sweating it out in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Abhishek Sharma T20I Career

Abhishek Sharma made his T20I debut against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe, on July 06, 2024. He was dismissed for a duck on debut and joined the likes of MS Dhoni, KL Rahul, and Prithvi Shaw as Zimbabwe stunned the T20 World Cup 2024 champions in the first T20I of the five-match series in a low-scoring affair.

With the second T20I played on the next day itself, Indian captain Shubman Gill opted to bat first to change fortunes. However, Gill, Sharma’s Under-19 CWC vice-captain and childhood friend, opened with him and was dismissed for a single-digit score. But Sharma decided to make amends to himself and romp the African nation after he was dropped early in the innings by stitching a century partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad. The Punjabi all-rounder showed shades of his Sunrisers self to score a half-century in 33 balls and decided to redeem himself by scoring the next 50 runs off just 13 balls. He accelerated to a 46-ball century in only his second T20I, twenty-four hours after facing a disappointing maiden outing.

Sharma achieved a rare feat when he became the first cricketer to bag two prestigious BCCI awards - the Raj Singh Dungarpur award for being the highest scorer in the Vijay Merchant Trophy (2015-2016), and the Raj Singh Dungarpur award for being the highest wicket-taker in the same tournament with 57 wickets under his belt.

Sharma featured in all of India's games at the World Cup 2018, scoring an important 49-ball 50 to take India to 265 against Bangladesh in the quarterfinal as the Indian U-19 team finished the tournament on a high as winners.
