Where did he take you? Far beyond the ordinary? Those questions lingered in the minds of fans after witnessing Abhishek Sharma’s electrifying century against Punjab Kings in IPL 2025.
Yes, the pitch was a batter’s paradise, and yes, Punjab’s bowling attack was depleted with injuries and dropped catches. But none of that takes away from the sheer brilliance of Abhishek’s 55-ball 141—a knock that etched itself into the annals of IPL history. It was a masterclass in controlled aggression, a blend of raw power and finesse.
From the moment Abhishek hammered Marco Jansen for four consecutive boundaries in the second over, he made power-hitting look effortless. Each swing of his bat was a statement. The first six soared over wide long-on, the second—a helicopter shot—was followed by a triumphant pose for the cameras. Even Shreyas Iyer, the opposing captain, seemed at a loss as the cameras caught his stunned expression.
The fourth six? A mishit that still cleared the ropes. Then came the shot that left everyone questioning reality—was this a video game or actual cricket? With a swift shuffle and a thunderous bat lift, Abhishek sent a fuller delivery from Jansen crashing into the stands. The bat rested behind his helmet, a moment frozen in time.
SRH end four-match losing streak by recording the second-highest chase in IPL history. Abhishek Sharma’s blistering 141 takes team past Punjab Kings’ imposing tally of 245.

Picture the mesmerizing arc of his bat, the sound of it connecting with the ball—like champagne popping. When he launched Yuzvendra Chahal and Thakur’s deliveries into the stratosphere, the Punjab Kings were left shell-shocked. It was the Abhishek Tornado, and they were caught in its fury.
As he celebrated his century, all eyes turned to the piece of paper he held up—a message that even Iyer couldn’t resist glancing at. It read: “This one is for the Orange Army.”
This innings wasn’t just about the fireworks; it was a lifeline for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who had lost four consecutive games. Abhishek’s knock breathed new life into their campaign, proving that one player’s brilliance can change fortunes. He’s the kind of talent who can fill stadiums, a name fans will flock to see—Abhishek Sharma.
