IPL 2026: Abhishek's Unbeaten Century Guides SRH To 242/2 Against DC
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Sunrisers Hyderabad rode on a sensational, controlled assault from Abhishek Sharma, whose blistering yet calculated century powered the hosts to a commanding 242/2 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
What stood out in Abhishek’s knock was not just the pace but the composure. Bringing up his fifty in 25 balls and his ninth T20 hundred in just 47 deliveries, he played within himself early before unleashing a brutal acceleration. By the 15-over mark, he had surged past Heinrich Klaasen to become the highest run-getter of the season, underlining his dominance at the top.
Delhi Capitals briefly flirted with the idea of control early on by introducing Nitish Rana’s offspin inside the Power-play, targeting SRH’s left-hand heavy top order. Rana’s mix of arm balls and short offbreaks fetched just six runs in his initial over as SRH moved to 15 for 0 after two overs.
