IPL 2025 - SRH v PBKS; Acceptance and skill, served in Abhishek Sharma style | Mint

Whether Abhishek Sharma is in the shape or not, you don’t stand off your seat when batting. Whether he has had a series of failures or many successes, you can’t tear your eyes away. Because every ball is an adventure. He can score a total of 51 runs in five games, and then reach 141 out of 55 balls and help Sunrisers look for a target of 246 without even going to the last. Abhishek’s pampered century was undoubtedly the turn of IPL 2025, and will probably hold that mantle, even though the tournament is only a third of the way through. We have never seen anything like Abhishek Sharma, nor was there a turn like his 141 against Punjab Kings. He was dropped twice, once caught from a ball, pulled the ball twice into the country’s country-and still batted on turbocharge. He hit sixes like in a video game, found out new points because the punjab bowlers tried to cut off his favorite zones, and even had a note in his pocket to hold and say, ‘This one is for Orange Army’ when he reached his hundred. And it’s still not even half a description of how much of the exciting ride was his turn. The Orange Army Note Abhishek wrote that note when he woke up on Saturday (April 12). It was not the tempting fate of him, but it was the inner belief that all champions do about good no matter what happened before. “To be honest, I wrote it myself today,” he said after the game. “Usually I wake up and write something. So I just got a random thought that if I do something today, it will be for the Orange Army. I thought today is my day … The message I wrote, I thought if it was my day, I was going to dedicate the orange army and to Hyderabad. ‘ Abhishek revealed that he had experienced the pressure of low scores, but the team -promoted team environment did not mean his own lack of runs or the team’s lack of victories. The support of Suryakumar Yadav and Yuvraj Singh, the Sunrisers, had a break six days before their match against Punjab. But Abhishek couldn’t spend that downtime to reflect, exercise or chew. He lay most of it in bed. But although he was ill, two people in particular were a source of constant power and support: his mentor and his captain in India. “I was sick for four days, I had a temperature,” Abhishek revealed. “But I feel very grateful that people like Yuvraj Singh and Suryakumar Yadav had around me. It was those who constantly called me because they knew I could do such a thing. ‘ But as an individual, any player begins to double himself. But the thing that was with me was that it was pretty clear that they believed in me. And if people like them believe in you, of course you start to believe again. “The turn of Abhishek who lasts longer than a dozen balls will have a moment of a jaw, because that is the way he played. Starting over his stumps and pulling balls. The bounce and size (of the border) on one side really helped us.” He had a fever. 06:57 AM ist
