Abhishek Sharma- The young lion
Abhishek Sharma, who opens for Sunrisers Hyderabad, is in some next-level form this year. He has been hitting bowlers like he is practicing in the nets.
He almost broke the record for fastest fifty in IPL history, which belongs to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal scored 52 runs off just 13 balls in his smashing inning.
Abhishek started well against the Delhi Capitals and was hitting balls very comfortably; he smashed six sixes in his quickfire innings.
Abhishek just played 12 balls in his inning and scored 46 runs. If he had played those 12th balls, then he was about to win the tag of fastest IPL fifty.
