Abhishek Sharma has shrugged off his poor form so far in the IPL 2025 in some fashion as he went on to register his maiden IPL hundred on the night as SRH chase a mammoth 246 against the Punjab Kings atthe Rajiv gandhi Stadium tonight.
 
Abhishek's hundred came in just 40 deliveries that constituted an impressive 11 fours and 7 sixes. The opener continued his onslaught after stitching up a 171-run stand with Travis Head as well. Abhishek ended his knock at 141 runs on the night.  He has also overtaken KL Rahul for the highest score by an Indian in IPL history.
