IPL 2022: Abhishek Sharma thumps a six straight down the ground
The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League is emerging as the season of youngsters as the young lads are overshadowing the senior pros with their performances constantly. In the clash between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Abhishek Sharma stole all the limelight with a brilliant knock.
Sunrisers Hyderabad were chasing a target of 155 to register their first win of the season. Abhishek Sharma gave his side a solid start as the Punjab-lad scored a brilliant fifty at the top. During his knock, Sharma treated the fans with a superb straight-six from the backfoot.
It was the 15th over of the SRH’s innings, and the young pacer Mukesh Choudhary came to bowl for Chennai Super Kings. On the 4th delivery of the over, Mukesh bowled a decent good length delivery, but Abhishek Sharma stood tall and smacked it over the bowler’s head for a six.
Former English off-spinner Graeme Swann seemed impressed with the wonderful shot from the youngster and termed it the ‘shot of the day.’
