Sharma Ji Ke Bete Shines Bright: Yuvraj's Witty Praise for Abhishek's Record-Breaking Century

Abhishek Sharma lit up IPL 2025 with a sensational knock of 141 runs off just 55 balls, leading Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a thrilling victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS). This remarkable innings not only marked the highest individual score by an Indian in IPL history but also showcased Abhishek's growing stature as one of the most explosive T20 openers.

 

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who has been a mentor to Abhishek, couldn't resist adding his signature humor while praising the young star. Taking to social media, Yuvraj quipped, "Wah Sharma Ji Ke Bete! 98 pe single, phir 99 pe single! Itni maturity humse nahi ho rahi!" His lighthearted comment highlighted Abhishek's calm approach in reaching his century, a trait often rare in high-pressure T20 games.

 

Abhishek's innings was a masterclass in power-hitting and composure, featuring a 171-run partnership with Travis Head, the highest of the season so far. Together, they orchestrated the second-highest successful chase in IPL history, with SRH comfortably reaching the target of 246 runs with nine balls to spare.

 

During the post-match presentation, Abhishek credited Yuvraj and Suryakumar Yadav for their guidance, emphasizing their role in shaping his game. Fans and cricketing legends alike celebrated this historic performance, with social media buzzing with memes and accolades.
