Sunrisers Hyderabad are all set to lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants in Match 7 of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The crowd will be buzzing, the floodlights will be blazing and SRH fans will have their eyes glued to one man: Abhishek Sharma.

The young southpaw looked in imperious touch in the opening clash. He smoked 26 off just 11 balls, lacing five crisp boundaries in the process. But just when it looked like he was about to tee off, he gave it away. With SRH putting up a mammoth 286/6, he must’ve felt he left a few runs behind.

Against LSG, he will be raring to go big and make it count. And if he does, there are milestones galore waiting to fall like ninepins. Let’s break down the records Abhishek could shatter in SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 match.

1. 99 Short Of A Special IPL Landmark

Abhishek is 99 runs away from completing 1500 runs in the IPL. So far, he has notched up 1401 runs in 64 matches at an average of 25.47 and a cracking strike rate of 156.01, including seven fifties.

He has come into his own in the last three seasons and this could be a sweet little personal milestone if he gets going. The Hyderabad pitch is a pure belter. Don't be shocked if he gets the job done in style.

2. One More Four To Enter The 300 Club

Opening the innings in T20s, Abhishek has already crashed 299 fours. Just one more, and he will bring up 300 boundaries as an opener in the shortest format. That is no small feat. He loves taking on the quicks in the Powerplay and if there’s any width on offer, he’ll be all over it.

3. A Hat-Trick Of Sixes Away From A T20 Badge Of Honour

Abhishek’s been sending the ball into orbit quite frequently in the last few years. He is just three sixes short of 200 sixes in T20s in Asia. Hitting 200 sixes in these parts is no joke. It puts him in the same conversation as some of the cleanest hitters in the business.

4. Just 3 Wickets Away From 50 T20 Scalps

With the bat, he’s flamboyant. With the ball, he’s underrated. Abhishek has 47 wickets in T20s and is just 3 short of a half-century of scalps. He may not always get a full quota, but when he does get the ball, he knows how to sneak in a big one.

5. Two Catches Away From Fielding Milestone

Abhishek Sharma has snagged 48 catches in T20s and needs just two more to get to 50. Whether it’s a reflex grab at point or a diving effort near the boundary, he hs pulled off some gems in the past. A couple of moments of brilliance could see him hit yet another milestone.
