IPL 2026: Abhishek Sharma Closing In on 2000 Runs, 100 Sixes Milestone

Indian cricket team opening batsman Abhishek Sharma is a power hitter. Whether it is international cricket or the IPL, Abhishek is always a power hitter. Abhishek played a crucial role in India’s victory by making a quick half-century in the T20 World Cup 2026 final. Now, Abhishek is looking forward to IPL 2026. The next season will be a milestone for Abhishek, which will begin on March 28.

Abhishek Sharma has been playing for SRH since 2019. His batting skills have been improving consistently over the years. By IPL 2025, Abhishek had hit 96 sixes in 74 matches for SRH. If Abhishek hits four more sixes in IPL 2026, then it will be 100 sixes for Abhishek for SRH, and he will become only the second player from SRH to achieve this feat.

The only batsman to hit 100 or more sixes for SRH is former captain and legendary player David Warner, who led the team to victory in 2016. Warner has hit 143 sixes in 95 matches for SRH between 2014 and 2021.

Abhishek can also reach 2,000 runs for SRH in IPL 2026, becoming the fourth batsman from the team to achieve this feat. He needs 247 runs to achieve this feat. Abhishek has returned to form and the tournament is long, so there's every chance he'll reach the 2,000-run mark in the upcoming season.

Abhishek is SRH's fourth-highest run-scorer, having amassed 1,753 runs with one century and nine half-centuries. By reaching 2,000 runs in the upcoming season, he has the opportunity to surpass Kane Williamson to become the team's third-most successful batsman. Williamson scored 2,101 runs in 76 matches between 2015 and 2022.

SRH's most successful batsman is David Warner, who has amassed 4,014 runs with two centuries and 40 half-centuries. Shikhar Dhawan is second, having scored 2,768 runs in 91 matches between 2013 and 2018, scoring 21 centuries.
