Abhishek Sharma was recently traded to Sunrisers Hyderabad from Delhi Capitals along with Shahbaz Nadeem and Vijay Shankar in exchange for Shikhar Dhawan. Abhishek is just 18 years old and is younger than Rashid Khan and Khaleel Ahmed within the Hyderabad squad.

His left arm spin bowling was effective the 2018 U-19 World Cup. Apart from his bowling skills, he is a useful pinch hitter in the lower middle order. His pinch-hitting for Delhi in the 2018 season, an innings of 46 runs off 19 balls is well-remembered by many cricket fans.

He also has played Ranji Cricket for Punjab in the 2018 season apart from featuring in the Vijay Hazare trophy in 2017. He will be looking forward to playing a responsible role for Sunrisers as a backup/replacement to Deepak Hooda as a spin bowling all-rounder.

Abhishek Sharma is the youngest player in the Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad for the IPL 2019 season.
