SRH batter Abhishek Sharma finally scored a big hundred, helping his team secure their second win of the season. He celebrated his century with a unique, never-before-seen gesture that surprised everyone. In the 27th match of IPL 2025, Hyderabad made history by chasing down the second-highest target of 245 runs, thanks to Abhishek’s brilliant knock against PBKS.
Many people said the young left-hander was lucky in yesterday’s match. There was a rare moment when he was dismissed off Yash Thakur’s delivery, but it turned out to be a no-ball. That mistake by PBKS proved costly, as Abhishek responded with a brilliant knock of 141 runs. After scoring his century, he thanked the Hyderabad fans for supporting him during his tough times with a heartfelt message in a unique way.
After scoring the century, Abhishek pulled out a note from his pocket and showed it to the crowd. It read, ‘This one is for the Orange Army.’ His season hadn’t been going well, as he often got decent starts but failed to convert them into big innings. Finally, he delivered a match-winning knock, remaining unbeaten and guiding his team to victory.
In real-time, no one could see what was written on the note. Even Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer congratulated Abhishek and took a moment to read it. After getting out for 141 runs off 55 balls, he received praise from all around. PBKS players Arshdeep Singh, Nehal Wadhera, and Glenn Maxwell also congratulated him for his extraordinary innings.
Travis Head spilled some beans behind Abhishek Sharma’s unique celebration
Abhishek scored one of the greatest centuries in IPL history, and Travis Head got the best seat in the house. The destructive duo struck a huge partnership of 171 runs and took the game away from Punjab Kings. Head revealed the secret behind Sharma’s unique celebration in an interview after the match.
The Aussie revealed that he had kept that note in his pocket since the start of the season. However, due to several poor performances, he couldn’t show it to the Hyderabad fans until now. He said he was grateful it came out on such an important occasion. Head also showed great support, contributing 69 runs off just 33 balls.
Looking at Abhishek’s first five innings this season, he hadn’t scored more than 50 even once. His highest score was just 18, and he hadn’t hit a single six before this match. However, against Punjab, he smashed 14 fours and 10 sixes, recording the third-highest score in IPL history — and the highest ever by an Indian.
