Abhishek Sharma is a rising star known for his clean hitting and adeptness against both pace and spin. Initially positioned in the middle order, Sharma seamlessly transitioned to the top order for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. He also contributes as a valuable left-arm spinner, often surprising batsmen with his back-spinning leg cutter. Sharma’s recent opportunity to represent India during the Zimbabwe tour saw him shine, notably scoring a blazing 100 off 47 balls in the second T20I.

Sharma on her sister’s attending match as a lucky factor

Recently, Sharma was asked about the superstitions he follows before matches. He revealed that his sister, Komal Sharma, is his biggest lucky charm both for him personally and for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Komal frequently attends his matches and was notably present in the stands throughout the recently concluded 2024 season. SRH had a memorable season, finishing as runners-up after losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final.

Abhishek noted that Komal had become a lucky charm for Hyderabad, with teammates even inquiring about her attendance at matches. He also playfully mentioned Komal’s main concern when attending games: choosing the perfect outfit.

“Whenever Komal came for the matches, picking an outfit was her biggest concern. I used to tell her to wear something related to the team. The way she supported us this time, the whole team saw it and she became our lucky charm. People in Hyderabad started recognizing her and she enjoyed a lot.This was the first time that she had come to the matches, and the team reached the final. So, I think the luck factor was there. The teammates would ask me if she was coming or not for the matches.”

Abhishek Sharma turned heads with his explosive performances in IPL 2024. He emerged as SRH’s second-highest run-scorer of the season, accumulating 484 runs from 16 games at an impressive strike rate of 204.
