“Itni maturity hajam nahi ho rahi,” Yuvraj Singh banters with Abhishek Sharma as the latter makes the highest ever score...

IPL 2025 just got more exciting as SRH just ended their rut and won a game after 4 consecutive losses. The hero of the win, Abhishek Sharma, has received heaps of praise from the world over. No praise, however, would mean as much to him as the praise of his mentor and former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh.

Yuvraj Singh praises Abhishek Sharma

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has praised Abhishek for his fantastic knock against the Punjab Kings. Yuvraj also teased him for taking 2 singles to reach his century, saying he couldn’t digest the maturity shown by Abhishek. Yuvraj also appreciated Travis Head and Shreyas Iyer for their innings.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Yuvraj said, “Wah sharma ji ke bete ! 98 pe single phir 99 pe single ! Itni maturity ha am nahi ho rahi ! Great knock @IamAbhiSharma4 well played @TravisHead24 these openers are a treat to watch together ! #SRHvsPBKS @IPL well played @ShreyasIyer15 great to watch aswell”

PBKS score 245/6

PBKS batted first against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In their innings, they were solid with the bat. There were significant contributions from the top-order. Priyansh Arya, the centurion from the last game, scored 36 off just 13 balls.

Prabhsimran scored 42, while captain Shreyas Iyer scored a scintillating 82 off 36 deliveries. A cameo at the end from Marcus Stoinis meant that PBKS ended the innings strongly. Harshal Patel was the pick of the bowlers. The pacer took 4 wickets for 42 runs.

SRH fight back

In reply to PBKS, the SRH openers came out all guns blazing. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma started the inning on a high. Head hit Arshdeep Singh for two boundaries in the first over. Meanwhile, Sharma took down Marco Jansen in the next over. He struck the South African for 4 boundaries in the over.

The two openers gave the start SRH was missing this season. Travis Head scored 66 off 37 deliveries before being dismissed. He hit 9 fours and 3 sixes with a strike rate of 178.38.

The Abhishek Sharma Show

However, the run chase was all about Abhishek Sharma. The left-hander scored a brilliant century to end his string of low scores. Sharma scored 141 runs off just 55 balls. His knock of 141 takes him to the top of the list of highest individual scores in IPL by an Indian. The previous record was held by KL Rahul with his knock of 132 runs in 2020.
