Abhishek Sharma explosive form in IPL 2024
Abhishek’s teammate and SRH captain, Aiden Markram, has been particularly impressed by the young opener’s performances. “Abhi has made massive strides this season,” Markram stated in a recent interview. He highlighted Abhishek’s consistent improvement and believes his current form positions him well for potential selection in the Indian national team.
Rising star repays SRH Faith
The 24-year-old Punjab batter joined SRH in 2019. This season, he was promoted to the opening slot, where he has thrived. Abhishek has amassed a remarkable 401 runs in just 12 matches, boasting a phenomenal strike rate of 205.64.
Aiden Markram: “Brothers of Destruction”
Aiden Markram is not alone in his praise. Experts and fans alike have been captivated by Abhishek’s aggressive batting style.

Record-Breaking Partnership
The opening partnership between Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head has been nothing short of spectacular. In their last encounter against LSG, they chased down a target of 166 runs within a mere 9.4 overs.

Across 11 innings together, Abhishek and Head have amassed a staggering 676 runs, including three partnerships exceeding 100 runs and two exceeding 50 runs. Their consistent dominance at the top of the batting order has been a major factor in SRH’s success this season.
