Hyderabad: This year is personal Abhishek Sharma(Abhishek Sharma) did not fare very well. There were strong questions about his performance in the World Cup. IPL(IPL 2026) also had a very ordinary start by Abhishek Sharma. However, as the season progressed, he was seen getting back into rhythm. This time he scored a hundred against Delhi Capitals.

Abhishek stormed with the bat right from the start at Sunrisers’ home ground. The Nawab’s City franchise got off to a good start with his bat. Abhishek Sharma laid the foundation of big runs for the team in the opening partnership of 97 runs with Travis Head. His bat was talking. Offspinners have troubled Abhishek in the past. That is probably why Delhi Capitals captain Akshar Patel brought Nitish run ball in the second over of the innings. However, despite being able to tie Abhishek down a bit in the beginning, Abhishek hit two sixes in the second over of the run and showed that he is in no mood to stop today.

The Sunrisers opener completed his half-century in 25 balls with five fours and three sixes. It will be surprising to think that even after scoring a half-century at a strike rate of two hundred, it is the slowest half-century on debut at Sunrisers’ home ground.

But Abhishek did not stop even after completing the half-century. He also crossed the 47-ball century mark. This century not only brought the message of Abhishek’s comeback, but also made history. With this century today, Abhishek Sharma has overtaken superstar Rohit Sharma to join Virat Kohli. This is Abhishek’s ninth hundred on debut, joint-most with Kohli as an Indian. However Kohli Scored nine T20 hundreds in 403 innings, made his debut playing only 184 innings. After these two, Rohit Sharma is second in the list with eight T20 hundreds.

Talking about the match, nobody could get Abhishek out today. He remained unbeaten on 135 off 68 balls. Sunrisers ended the innings with 242 runs.
