The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are gearing up for another thrilling season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with an eye on redemption after narrowly missing out on the title last year. Led by Pat Cummins, the squad is packed with superstars and explosive talents, making them one of the strongest contenders yet again.

Who is the superstar of SRH? Pat Cummins and Heinrich Klaasen reveal their pick

In the recently released video by Star Sports, both Heinrich Klaasen and Cummins were asked to name the superstar player for SRH, and without any hesitation, they both named the explosive left handed batter Abhishek Sharma.

Abhishek had a sensational IPL 2024 season, finishing with 484 runs in 16 matches at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 204.22, the fourth-highest in the tournament. His ability to provide explosive starts at the top ensured that SRH dominated powerplays, frequently setting up massive totals. He formed a record-breaking opening partnership with Travis Head, where the duo wreaked havoc on opposition bowlers, often crossing 100 runs within the first six overs.

One of Abhishek’s biggest strengths was his ability to hit sixes at will, finishing IPL 2024 with 42 maximums – the most by any batter in the season. His innings were not just about brute power; he also displayed a keen cricketing intelligence, shot selection, and adaptability. Whether it was attacking the new ball or targeting spinners in the middle overs, Abhishek showed remarkable versatility, proving that he is much more than just an aggressive power-hitter.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s IPL 2025 campaign 

With IPL 2025 set to begin on March 22, excitement is building as Abhishek re-joins the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad. On Wednesday, SRH’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle shared a video of Abhishek arriving at the team camp, signaling his readiness for another blockbuster season. The Cummins-led side will begin their IPL 2025 campaign with a high-octane clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on March 23 at their home ground, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

As SRH aim to go one step further and claim their second IPL title, all eyes will be on Abhishek to deliver yet another power-packed season. With the backing of captain Cummins, the explosive batting lineup, and an aggressive team strategy, Abhishek will be determined to replicate his 2024 heroics and cement his place as one of the premier openers in the tournament. If his form from last season is anything to go by, bowlers are in for another nightmare, and fans can expect fireworks from Abhishek Sharma once again.
