Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma was born on 4 September 2000 in Amritsar, Punjab. Born to Manju Sharma and Raj Kumar Sharma, he is the youngest of three, with two elder sisters, Komal and Sania. 

His first coach was his father, Raj Kumar Sharma, who also used to play the game, and recognised Abhishek’s love and talent. Starting the game at a very young age, motivated by his father’s passion, the youngster secured a spot in Punjab’s youth teams. 

It is very prominently known that Abhishek Sharma’s family has backed him to play the sport since childhood. Even today, his parents and his sister Komal are frequently seen cheering for him in the IPL as well as on the international stage.  

Abhishek Sharma's Father​

Mr. Raj Kumar Sharma, Abhishek’s father, also used to play cricket. However, he could not reach the highest levels. Nonetheless, he inculcated the passion for the game into his son. Raj Kumar has coached and helped Abhishek learn the basics of the game. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Abhishek recognised his father’s role in his journey as a cricketer and as a person, saying, “Everything I’ve achieved traces back to him. He’s the reason I ever dreamed this big.”

“He always believed in me — more than anyone else ever did. That gave me the courage to take cricket seriously, even when the path looked uncertain,” said the 25-year-old cricketer.

Certainly, this proves that Abhishek Sharma has inherited the passion for the game from his father, and he has been fortunate enough that his father has always believed in him, yet kept him grounded.
