Ahead of the IPL 2025 big auction, Kavya Maran Angry Reaction After Abhishek Sharma Gets Out , Sunrisers Hyderabad paid Rs 14 crore to acquire Indian batter Abhishek Sharma. However, the Punjabi left-handed batsman hasn’t performed well for the Hyderabad-based team this season. In the opening IPL 2025 match, which took place on March 23, he scored 24 runs for the Pat Cummins-led team before being dismissed after scoring 6, 1, and 2 runs against LSG, Delhi Capitals, and KKR. Abhishek was kept in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Gujarat Titans at home despite his recent poor showing, but he once again fell short.
At Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 6, the 24-year-old batsman got off to a strong start but was unable to turn it into a huge knock and left the pavilion after scoring 18 runs off of 16 balls. On the fourth ball of the fifth over of SRH’s innings, he gave Rahul Tewatia a straightforward catch in an effort to hit a huge shot against Mohammed Siraj.
Kavya Maran, the owner of SRH, was at the stadium on Sunday and expressed her displeasure at Abhishek’s wicket. A fan on X posted a video of her irritated response, and it quickly became widely popular online.
In the previous IPL season, Abhishek was SRH’s best player. He was instrumental in the squad’s march to the final of the 2024 Indian Premier League, scoring 484 runs in 16 games for the Pat Cummins-led team. In the 17th season of the world’s wealthiest franchise cricket league, he hit 42 sixes for the Orange Army. His incredible batting performance also earned him a spot in India’s Twenty20 International team.
Fans are surprised by Abhishek’s dismal batting performance in the 2025 Indian Premier League, given he was playing well before the competition began. Abhishek crushed 135 runs off of just 54 balls against England at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on February 5 in his final Twenty20 International match for India. In addition to breaking Shubman Gill’s record for the highest individual score for India in a Twenty20 International, his 135-run performance enabled the team captained by Suryakumar Yadav win the match by 150 runs.
