Amid the ongoing saga of Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians, Abhishek Sharma is also reportedly wanting to leave the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise ahead of the IPL 2027 season.
In 2027, SRH is likely to consider Ishan Kishan as their captain, as their regular skipper Pat Cummins is unlikely to play the season or be part of the upcoming season because of national cricket team commitments. Ishan Kishan was the stand-in captain of the team in the previous season when Cummins was not with the team.

As the franchise would offer Ishan Kishan the captain’s armband. Abhishek Sharma makes himself uncertain about staying in the Hyderabad-based franchise for another season. On October 2, the Times of India, in its report, mentioned that thereis alreadyy multiple interest in the left-handed opener.
Mumbai Indians (MI), Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are believed to be some potential candidates for the batter. But nothing has been confirmed yet, as there will be a lot of factors behind a player’s departure. A departure can be involved in an all-cash deal, a swap deal, or a player-plus-cash deal.
“It’s not a secret anymore that Abhishek Sharma is unhappy at SRH since the captaincy went to Ishan Kishan. He has been with the franchise for a long time and clearly had captaincy ambitions. Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, and Punjab Kings were being explored as potential destinations, and we can’t rule out Delhi Capitals either, since his mentor Yuvraj Singh is part of the setup now,” a source told the media house.
