Abhishek Sharma went all guns blazing against Ravi Bishnoi in the IPL 2025 contest between the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday, May 19. The southpaw smashed four consecutive sixes off Bishnoi and, in the process, reached his half-century off just 18 deliveries.

The power-packed batting display came in the seventh over of SRH’s chase. Abhishek began the carnage after getting the strike for the last four balls of the over. The left-hander began the over with a six over long-on. The 24-year-old then read the googly perfectly, placing the ball over long-on, sticking to the V-region.

He smashed the third one over the bowler’s head to reach his fifty. The opener didn’t stop and smashed the last ball of the over towards the left of deep mid-wicket. The fielder (Nicholas Pooran) got his hands on the ball but failed to hold on near the boundary region.
