SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener Abhishek Sharma’s mother, Manju Sharma, expressed joy and pride following her son’s breathtaking 141-run knock. The sensational innings came against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 27th match of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, April 12, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

After opting to bat first, the Kings posted a mammoth total of 245/6, with skipper Shreyas Iyer leading the charge with a brilliant 82 off just 36 deliveries, smashing six boundaries and as many sixes.

In reply, SRH’s opening duo — Abhishek and Travis Head — launched a relentless assault, stitching together a blazing 171-run stand in just 75 balls. Head eventually fell for a fiery 66 off 37 deliveries, but the foundation had been firmly laid by their electrifying partnership.

Abhishek brought up his maiden IPL century in just 40 balls and went on to score a stunning 141 off 55 deliveries, smashing 14 fours and 10 sixes. His explosive knock powered SRH to a dominant eight-wicket victory, with nine balls to spare.

Following the match, the official IPL X account shared a video of Abhishek’s mother, Manju Sharma, reacting to her son's match-winning performance. She said:

“Sabko khushi hai, maa ko bhi khushi hai, pure Hyderabad ko khushi hai ki match jeeteya. Thoda stop lag gaya tha lekin ab nahi lagega, ab continue chalega.” [Everyone's happy, I’m happy, all of Hyderabad is happy that we won the match. There was a bit of a halt earlier, but not anymore — now it’s going to continue].
