    IPL 2025: Abhishek Sharma Smashes Fifth-fastest Century In League's History

    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) young dynamo Abhishek Sharma etched his name into the history books on Saturday night, smashing a whirlwind century off just 40 balls in Match 27 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The stunning knock came against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad and marked the fifth-fastest century in IPL history.

    Coming in with SRH chasing a mammoth target of 246, Abhishek turned the contest on its head with a fearless display of stroke play. The left-hander unleashed a flurry of boundaries and sixes, taking the attack to a shell-shocked Punjab bowling line-up from the outset. His ability to clear the fence with ease and pierce the gaps at will left the bowlers with no answers.

    Abhishek’s blazing ton is now the second-fastest century ever scored by a Sunrisers Hyderabad batter. The fastest hundred still belongs to his opening partner, Travis Head, who reached the milestone in 39 balls last season against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Together, the duo have redefined the batting template for SRH with their fearless and aggressive approach at the top.
