Several young Indian batters have left a lasting impression on the Indian Premier League 2024. Mayank Yadav, Yash Thakur, Ashutosh Sharma, Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma are giving consistent performances.
Abhishek, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad, has been unstoppable in the 17th season. The 23-year-old has got starts but failed to convert them into big scores.
Former India player Virender Sehwag is impressed with Abhishek. He heaped massive praise on the young batter.
“Abhishek Sharma. Bande mein hai dum. Matter of time before he gets bigger scores. But consistently hitting it so cleanly is a very special quality and he has a great future ahead,” he wrote on X.
Sharma has matched Travis Head in strike rate. In the contest against Delhi Capitals, he amassed 46 runs off 12 balls, including 7 sixes and 2 fours. His runs came at a strike rate of 383.33.
Abhishek has 257 runs seven games, including 1 fifty. His average is 36.71, while the strike rate stands at 215.96.
