AI predicts how many runs Abhishek Sharma will score in today's SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 match

Abhishek Sharma was a key figure in the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise that finished runners-up in the IPL 2024 season. He slammed 484 runs in 16 innings at an average of 32.26 and a spectacular strike rate of 204.21. The southpaw struck three half-centuries and formed a formidable opening pair with Travis Head, who also had a sensational season.

Abhishek and Head continued from where they left off last year, featuring in a 45-run stand for the opening wicket in 3.1 overs. The former hammered five fours in his 11-ball 24. The southpaw was looking dangerous yet again when he perished to Maheesh Theekshana, miscuing one to point.

SRH fans would be hoping for a much bigger effort from Abhishek when the franchise takes on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday, March 27. We asked Grok AI to predict the SRH opener's score in the match. Taking into consideration Abhishek's current form and historical performance, the AI chatbot replied:

"Abhishek could be expected to make a notable score, potentially in the range of 20 to 75+ runs, depending on the match situation and his time at the crease.

"Abhishek Sharma scored 75 not out off 28 balls in a match where SRH chased 166 in 9.4 overs. This indicates his potential for a significant contribution, but it pertains to a past game, not today's," Grok stated.

While Abhishek failed to convert his start against Rajasthan Royals, Head carried on to score 67 off 31 balls. Keeper-batter Ishan Kishan was the hero for SRH in his debut match for the franchise. He clobbered an unbeaten 106 off 47 balls, a sensational knock that included 11 fours and six sixes.
