Abhishek Sharma GT vs SRH: Abhishek Sharma has produced several explosive knocks for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026, and fans were expecting another attacking inning from the left-hander against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans while chasing what appeared to be a manageable total by modern T20 standards. The SRH opener started brightly, smashing a stylish six over the covers to signal his intent. However, his stay at the crease ended in highly unfortunate fashion soon after while facing Kagiso Rabada. Check it out:

The delivery was well outside the line of the stumps, prompting Abhishek to reach far across in an attempt to attack it, but the ball caught the bottom edge of his bat and rolled back onto the stumps, bringing an abrupt end to his innings.
