Mini bio
How it started.
Abhishek grew up playing cricket in Amritsar, where his father Rajkumar Sharma coached him. He progressed through Punjab’s junior cricket and captained India to the Under-19 Asia Cup title in 2016, before joining the squad that won the 2018 Under-19 World Cup.
Finding his place.
His IPL career began with Delhi in 2018, and he joined Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019. The 2024 season brought a wider audience: he scored 484 runs and hit a league-leading 42 sixes. That form earned him a place in India’s T20I squad for Zimbabwe, where he made a century in his second international appearance.
At the top of the order.
His attacking starts became a feature of India’s T20 side. In 2025 he scored 135 against England and finished the Asia Cup as its leading run-scorer and Player of the Tournament. In 2026 he helped India win the T20 World Cup and Asian Games gold, and hit a 30-ball century against Afghanistan.
