New Delhi: No matter whether it’s a white ball or a red ball, Abhishek Sharma only knows one way to play. The left-handed batter is one of the most explosive batters in Indian cricket and one of those players who don’t care about the format of the game. Fans, who have witnessed Abhishek playing some blazing knocks in white-ball cricket, saw something extraordinary on Tuesday as the left-handed batter turned heads with a sensational knock in red-ball cricket.
Featuring in the Times Shield Tournament – the oldest and largest office tournament in the whole of Asia – played across 3/4 days, Abhishek was at his explosive best. The young opener turned red-ball cricket into a T20 match with a blistering knock of 60 runs in 22 balls in the Times Shield tournament.
Abhishek played his natural game in the red-ball tournament and hit some massive blows all over the park. He punished both pacers and spinners to set the tournament ablaze.

Abhishek shows his prowess ahead of IPL 2024
Abhishek took IPL 2025 by storm by scoring 484 runs at a sensational strike rate of over 200. His superb batting displays earned him the national call-up and the batter repaid the faith of the selectors with a brilliant century against Zimbabwe and announced his arrival on the big stage.
Abhishek recently smashed a 28-ball century for playing in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and continued his form with a 22-ball 60 in the Times Shield tournament.
Abhishek was retained for 14 Crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad at the IPL 2025 mega-auction as a reward for his great batting performances in IPL 2024. Abhishek was one of the key contributors in Sunrisers’ march towards the final of the previous edition of the cash-rich league.
