Abhishek Sharma is set to play a key part for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026 as they look to make a strong bid this season.
Abhishek has been a stunning player for India and SRH in the last couple of years, and his explosive batting will be pivotal for the team this season.
Since becoming a regular opener from 2022, Abhishek has redefined aggressive batting, amassing 1,575+ runs at a strike rate above 167 for SRH. Debuting in 2018 with Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) for ₹55 lakh before moving to SRH, the all-rounder (left-arm orthodox spinner) has evolved into one of the league's most destructive top-order batters. His record-breaking 141 off 55 balls in 2025 remains the highest score by an Indian in IPL history.
