    IPL 2026: Abhishek Sharma Draws Level With Virat Kohli, Scoring His Ninth Century

    By IANS News April 21, 2026 • 21:26 PM View: 343
    Indian Premier League: Abhishek Sharma matched Virat Kohli in a significant T20 achievement by scoring his ninth century in the format. This performance highlighted a record-breaking night for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against Delhi Capitals in Hyderabad.

    The explosive left-hander delivered an outstanding innings, marking his second IPL hundred in style while maintaining his impressive consistency at the top of the order. With this achievement, Abhishek reinforced his rising status in the shortest format and equalled Kohli’s record of nine T20 hundreds, the highest by an Indian. Among international players, only Chris Gayle (22), Babar Azam (12), and David Warner (10) have more, while Quinton de Kock, Rilee Rossouw, and Sahibzada Farhan are also tied with him at nine.

    This innings was also important for his IPL career with Sunrisers Hyderabad. During his knock, Abhishek crossed the 2,000-run milestone for the franchise, becoming just the fourth batter overall and the second Indian to reach this mark. He now joins an exclusive group that includes Warner (4,014 runs), Shikhar Dhawan (2,518), and Kane Williamson (2,101).
