The Sunrisers Hyderabad are gearing up to face off against the Lucknow Super Giants in Match 7 of the IPL 2025, and there’s a lot of excitement in the air. The venue is the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, where the atmosphere is sure to be electric. Fans will be eager to catch a glimpse of Abhishek Sharma, who really stole the show in the team’s first match. He managed to score a quick 26 runs off just 11 balls, hitting five impressive boundaries before he unfortunately got out just as he looked like he was about to launch into something special. With SRH putting together a huge total of 286 runs for six wickets, you can bet Abhishek is thinking he left some runs out there.
As he steps up against LSG, you know he’ll want to make a big impact and really show off his skills. If he pulls it off, there are quite a few records that could be up for grabs. Let’s take a closer look at what milestones Abhishek is on the cusp of achieving in this matchup.
1500 runs in IPL .
First off, he’s only 99 runs away from reaching a big milestone of 1,500 runs in the IPL. Right now, he’s tallied 1,401 runs over 64 matches with an average of about 25.5 and an impressive strike rate of 156.01, plus he’s racked up seven fifties along the way. Abhishek has really found his rhythm over the last three seasons, and if he gets going on that batting-friendly pitch in Hyderabad, it might just be the perfect setting for him to reach that milestone.
300 fours in T20 format
Then there’s his amazing record of boundaries. He’s already hit 299 fours while opening in T20 cricket, and one more boundary will push him into the 300 club. That’s no easy task, and it’s a clear testament to his attacking style, especially during the Powerplay against quick bowlers. If he gets the chance, expect him to grab that milestone with a big hit.
200 T20 sixes
Moving on to sixes, Abhishek has been launching balls out of the park quite frequently over the years. He’s just three sixes shy of hitting 200 in T20 cricket in Asia. Achieving that would put him right up there with some of the best hitters in the game. It’s no small feat and would definitely be something to celebrate among fans and teammates.
50 wickets in T20
On the bowler’s side, Abhishek has also made a name for himself, although he often flies under the radar. Currently, he has 47 wickets in T20s and is just three wickets away from a nice round number of 50. He might not bowl all the time, but he has a knack for making a big impact when he does, sneaking in crucial wickets.
50 Catches in T20 format
Last but not least, in the field, he’s been quite the asset as well. Abhishek has taken 48 catches in his T20 career, and with just two more, he’ll hit the impressive milestone of 50. Whether it’s diving catches or quick reflex grabs, he has showcased some remarkable moments on the field, and it would be great to see him snag a couple more to reach that milestone.
So, as the match approaches, all eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma. The stage is set for an exciting game, and fans will be hoping to see him make a memorable performance that not only helps his team but also lets him reach some personal milestones along the way.
