For those who don’t know, Abhishek Sharma had a strike rate of 204.3 against Rashid Khan in the IPL, smashing 47 off 23 balls while losing his wicket only once.

The carnage continued on Sunday afternoon as when Gujarat Titans were up against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 12 of the IPL 2024 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

After Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first, Hyderabad lost Mayank Agarwal early yet again. However, Abhishek Sharma, coming in at No. 3, had no mood to take his time to settle. As Shubman Gill introduced Rashid Khan to finish the Powerplay, Abhishek went downtown to slam two consecutive sixes against the ace spinner.

Rashid bowled a tossed-up delivery to Abhishek, and the southpaw dispatched him way over deep square leg for six to put the pressure straight on the Afghanistani all-rounder. Then, on the next delivery, he used his feet cleverly and played a gorgeous lofted drive over the bowler’s head to bring in his swagger.
