In Abhishek Sharma’s T20 playbook, the white Kookaburra ball is an object destined to be dispatched into the stands at every available opportunity.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday (April 21, 2026), the southpaw (135 n.o., 68b, 10×4, 10×6) flaunted that destructive template with relish, lifting Sunrisers Hyderabad to a daunting 242 for two and setting up a 47-run win against Delhi Capitals in IPL-19. Abhishek was well-supported by Travis Head, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen.
