Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star Abhishek Sharma made IPL history on Saturday night.
The young left-hander stunned the crowd by smashing a blazing century in just 40 balls during Match 27 against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The game, notably, was held at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Moreover, his brilliant knock of 141 runs off 55 balls is now the highest score by an SRH player and the highest by an Indian in IPL history.

As a result, this sweet moment was captured on camera and is now going viral across social media platforms. Fans, in turn, loved the heartfelt reaction and praised Kavya for her warm gesture.
SRH Chases a Mammoth Target
At the same time, SRH was chasing a huge total of 246 runs, but Abhishek made the chase look surprisingly easy. His attacking shots and fearless approach completely stunned the Punjab Kings bowlers.
Furthermore, his partner Travis Head also scored a quick half-century in 31 balls, helping SRH reach 147/0 in just 10.2 overs.
Did you know? Travis Head holds the record for the fastest SRH century—just 39 balls—against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024.
Fastest IPL Centuries of All Time

- Chris Gayle – 30 balls (2013) vs Pune Warriors
- Travis Head – 39 balls (2024) vs RCB
