IPL 2026 : Sunrajers Hyderabad’s left-handed opening batsman Abhishek Sharma has given a big statement after registering a 47-run win over Delhi Capitals.

At the same time, he has also said a big thing about his father. Let us know what he has said.

Abhishek Sharma gave a big statement

While receiving the Player of the Match award after the match, Abhishek Sharma said, ‘The way we started, I felt that we had a plan. Me and Headey wanted to use the powerplay but when we went to the wicket, it was a bit slow. So we have to plan it again and we had that match-up in mind. So I just wanted to use the powerplay like I always do. It’s just always a special moment to score on this special ground.

Abhishek further said, ‘I had also said in the last interview that until you play 20 overs, you do not know the par score, this was in my mind. I just wanted to entertain the crowd. The coach and captain give you such a situation that you can just go and express yourself. I think as a young player three years ago, that was probably on my mind. I always wanted to showcase my talent, whether it was mine in the powerplay or maybe all the bowlers. But you should get the support of the captain and coach. This is very important in the team. So I thought the atmosphere that was there at Sunrisers in 2024 was a game-changer for all of us because it was not just the team, it felt like they really wanted to win and wanted to push the youngsters forward. So this was the plan.

Talking further about his celebration, he said, ‘I have been doing this L celebration for a long time. It’s the love for the stadium, the way they support us throughout the tournament and all the games, even in the hotel. I just want to contribute from my side so that I can show them some love and secondly my parents are here. This is a very special moment and my sister is not coming today because she had some infection. So this is for you too.

Abhishek said a funny thing about his father

On the question of getting feedback from his father, Abhishek said, ‘To be honest, I don’t know, since my U12 days my father always sits near the screen and in Hyderabad too he always sits there and whenever I am at the non-striker end, he always tells me how to play. So it’s still going on and next time, I want a camera to just go to them and see their reactions. This is really going to be a lot of fun. It’s really amazing that I always look at him and he always looks at me and gives me instructions. So this also helps me a little and yes, performing in front of parents and friends is always special.
