SRH vs DC: Abhishek Sharma scores Scintillating Century, gets past New Milestone

Abhishek Sharma has slammed a sensational century against Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The explosive left-handed opener lit up the night with a strike rate of 225.49, smashing 8 fours and 10 sixes in a breathtaking display of power-hitting.

Batting first after DC opted to bowl, Sunrisers Hyderabad has already reached a commanding 183/2 in 15 overs, with Abhishek unbeaten on 115. His innings featured brutal strokeplay, particularly against the spin and pace duo of Axar Patel and others, as he dominated the powerplay and middle overs alongside his opening partner.

Coming into the match needing just 59 runs to become the fourth SRH batter to reach 2,000 IPL runs for the franchise, Abhishek not only achieved the milestone but has gone well beyond it in style. This was his maiden century against Delhi Capitals and a statement knock that underlined his evolution from a promising talent to one of the most destructive openers in the league.
