Abhishek Sharma Career

Abhishek Sharma is a talented all-round player from Amritsar, Punjab, India. He generally plays as a batsman for his team and can bowl slow left-arm orthodox spin, which allows him to take wickets in vital moments. He started his professional cricket career late compared to the other successful cricketers of his time. When his journey to becoming a successful cricketer began, he was only 14 years old, a young guy with big dreams. He had an intense interest in cricket from a young age.

He debuted in the Ranji Trophy on 6th October against Himachal Pradesh while playing for his hometown Punjab. In that match, Abhishek Sharma scored a brilliant 94 runs inning and showed his control over the bowlers, and he also took one wicket in that match. Afterward, he played 20 First Class matches and scored 872 runs at an impressive average of 31.14. He has scored four half-centuries and one century in his first-class cricket career. He has picked up 17 wickets so far in this format, and his best individual bowling performance was four wickets for 136 runs.

His orthodox left-arm spin is a real trouble for the batsmen, especially the right-handers. They face an awkward angle against Abhishek, and this key factor allows him to take more wickets and keep them under pressure in vital situations.

Abhishek Sharma impressed everyone in List A cricket as he played 46 matches in List A format and scored 1423 runs with an average of 33.88. He also picked up 23 wickets at an excellent economy rate of 4.67. He played his first Vijay Hazare Trophy match on 25th February 2017 against Vidarbha, and he scored 46 runs and got two valuable wickets in that match. He has three centuries and five half-centuries in List A cricket, and his best individual batting score in this format is unbeaten 169 runs. He loves to pursue the test of patience and play mind games with opponent bowlers. This ability of Sharma makes him different from other batsmen and allows him to stay in the crease and build a strong inning.

His exceptional technical gameplay makes him so successful in long formats, but the most vital point is that he is a completely versatile player, which makes him a complete player of all three formats. Over time, he earned plenty of respect in his T20 career. Abhishek Sharma played his first domestic T20 match for Delhi Daredevils against Royal Challengers Bangalore at New Delhi Stadium in 2018. He played an explosive 46 runs inning from just 19 balls in that match with the help of 4 sixes and three fours. This performance was an absolute eye-opener for IPL watchers, and they got their new emerging star. Sharma became a topic of discussion and was also declared one of Delhi's successful underdog bids.

Afterward, he played 78 domestic T20 matches and scored 1702 runs at an outstanding strike rate of 136.16 and also managed to pick up 28 wickets at an economy rate of 6.90. Some cricket experts compare Abhishek with our former legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, and his strike rate and dedication to the game prove that they are right. He improved himself a lot to be a better opening batsman, and Abhishek Sharma is expected to be a valuable asset for his team in the future. Despite his fame and success, he always stayed humble toward his fans and teammates, so he obtained respect from his fans and team members. He never played international cricket for the Indian main team, but he was called for India A team several times. No doubt his all-around ability is outstanding, and his national team call seems to be just a matter of time.

IPL Over the Years

Abhisekh Sharma was bought by the Delhi Capitals team in the Indian Premier League auction in 2018, and he played three matches in that season. He made his IPL debut for the Delhi team against Royal Challengers Bangalore and came for batting after falling four wickets. In that situation, Abhishek scored 46 runs in just 19 balls and remained not out at the end of the inning, but he missed his half-century just by four runs. If he scored that half-century in that match, he would have become the youngest player to score a half-century in the IPL. Even after his bombastic performances, Delhi management did not rely on him very much and gave him very few chances, which is still a matter of regret for them considering his current form.

In the next season, Abhishek Sharma was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad team for rupees 55,00,000, and later on, he played for the same franchise over the past few years. He got more opportunities there to show his abilities as he got much encouragement from the SRH coaching staff and players, which greatly helped him. In the 2019 season of IPL, he needed more chances to show his ability as he was playing 11 in just three matches. The next season, Abhishek played eight matches and scored only 71 runs. It was unfortunate for him as he was failing again and again after a great IPL start.

But like a true sportsman, he kept trying again and again. In the IPL 2021, Abhishek failed to impress everyone, scoring only 98 runs in 8 matches. But he scored some valuable runs in crucial moments. During the middle order, he also picked four wickets in important times and effectively broke vital partnerships, and his economy rate was an impressive 6.40 in that season.

In the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League, Abhishek Sharma got an opportunity to play in the opening batting position, and he impressed everyone with his batting skills. It implied that after years, he finally got his perfect batting position in the playing XI. He played 14 matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad in that season and scored 426 runs at an excellent average of 30.43, and his strike rate was also impressive at 133.13. This season, he scored his best individual batting score of 75 runs against Chennai Super Kings.

In 2023, Abhishek Sharma played 11 IPL matches and scored 226 runs for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team with a strike rate of 143.95. He also scored two half-centuries in that season. During the tough time on the team, he became the lone warrior and pulled the responsibility of batting the lineup alone. He proved the investment of SRH bidder on him was one of the successful bids of IPL in recent times.

Abhishek Sharma has witnessed a lot of ups and downs in his Indian Premier League career, but he always tried to prove his excellent talent. He can be a major player for his team as he works on his ability regularly and will gain more experience soon.

According to his stats, Abhishek Sharma never had the opportunity to play in international matches. He has been a wonderful all-rounder player since the beginning of his career. Even though he does not bowl regularly, he has a unique talent for wicket-taking in critical situations. He typically bats first and opens innings and loves to build innings with time. The Indian squad, on the other hand, currently features several all-around superstars who have performed well in recent years and appear to be irreplaceable. Abhishek's goal of replacing them at their current peak form is challenging, and he still needs to be able to do it.

As a result, despite his talent, we never saw him play in ICC matches.

He has a lot of promise, and by training harder in the future, he is expected to receive a chance to play for India.
