Abhishek Sharma’s outstanding century was the highlight of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s impressive 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The match, held on Tuesday night, saw SRH being asked to bat first, where they managed to put up a formidable total of 242 runs on the board. Abhishek Sharma’s unbeaten knock of 135 runs off just 68 balls was the main driving force behind SRH’s strong total, with Heinrich Klaasen’s quickfire 37 off 13 balls providing valuable support towards the end of the innings.
Despite an early setback with the loss of Pathum Nissanka, Delhi Capitals showed resilience through Nitish Rana’s attacking innings of 57 runs off 30 balls, keeping them in the game till the 10th over. However, DC’s fortunes took a turn for the worse as they lost key wickets in quick succession, with Rana, KL Rahul, and David Miller falling in a short span of time. This series of dismissals all but sealed the fate of the match in favor of SRH.
The comprehensive victory for Sunrisers Hyderabad showcased their batting firepower and solid team performance, while Delhi Capitals will look to regroup and come back stronger in their upcoming matches. The match was played on April 21, 2026, and will be remembered for Abhishek Sharma’s exceptional century and SRH’s dominant display on the field.
