SRH Star Abhishek Sharma Breaks Incredible IPL Record After Stunning 55-Ball 141 Blitzkrieg vs PBKS
NDTV
Abhishek Sharma broke several records as he powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to victory over Punjab Kings.
Abhishek Sharma played a one of the most scintillating knocks in Indian Premier League history as he smashed 141 off just 55 balls to help Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) chase down a target of 246 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2025. Abhishek went on a complete rampage, smashing 14 boundaries and 10 sixes, as SRH chased down 246 with nine whole balls to spare. Abhishek broke numerous records on the night, including registering the highest score by a player in a run chase in IPL history.

Abhishek's 141 surpasses Marcus Stoinis' 124 as the highest individual score in a run chase. Overall, Abhishek's knock stands as the third highest score in IPL history, only behind Chris Gayle's 175 in 2013 and Brendon McCullum's 158 in the first-ever IPL game in 2008.
Stoinis had smashed an unbeaten 124 in IPL 2024 for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) when they had beaten Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Even on Saturday, Stoinis showed his calibre with the bat, smashing 34 runs off just 11 deliveries, including four consecutive sixes off Mohammed Shami in the final over of the PBKS innings.
However, Stoinis' knock - and indeed everyone else's - fell short of Abhishek's marauding innings.
