And with this heroics, Abhishek Sharma has started to make a case for himself for the National Team.

The SRH opener who got his chance to play in the game displayed his batting prowess. He slammed a 18-ball fifty, making it the fastest fifty in IPL 2024, only for Abhishek Sharma to break it 20 balls later.
But the damage was done for Mumbai Indians. SRH got a blistering start which set the precedence for their innings. The Aussie opener was ultimately dismissed on 62 by Gerald Coetzee. Head smashed 9 fours and 3 sixes to blast his way through Mumbai Indians bowling line-up.
