Abhishek Sharma ki dhamakedar century ne Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium ko jalaye rakha, jab unhone Shreyas Iyer ki Punjab Kings ke against IPL 2025 ke match 27 mein ek zabardast century maar diya. Ye match 12 April ko Saturday ko khela gaya tha. Abhishek ne season ka teesra century aur SRH ka doosra century banaya, aur is knock ne PBKS ke jeetne ke chances ko ekdum khatam kar diya, jo 245 runs ka massive total set kar chuki thi.
SRH ko is match mein 246 runs chase karna tha, aur pehle to lag raha tha ki yeh target thoda mushkil ho sakta hai, kyunki SRH ke batting line-up kaafi out of form chal raha tha. Lekin Abhishek Sharma ne 19-ball par 50 banake aur phir 40 balls mein century convert karke sab ko hairaan kar diya! Unhone Travis Head ke saath milke 171 runs ki opening partnership banayi, jo SRH ko ek perfect start de gayi, taaki wo badi chase kar sakein.
Uske pehle, PBKS ki bowling mein ek shocking performance dekhne ko mili. Mohammed Shami ne IPL 2025 mein apna sabse mehenga spell diya, jisme unhone apne 4 overs mein 75 runs diye. Yeh IPL history mein sabse zyada runs diye gaye bowling spell ka record bana. Shami ne apni pehli over mein 14 runs diye aur Prabhsimran Singh ne us over mein 3 consecutive boundaries maar di, jisse unka confidence thoda tut gaya. Shami ne IPL mein doosra-highest bowling stats bhi banaye, bas ek run se Jofra Archer ke 0/76 ke record ke neeche rahe.
Shami ke sath, SRH ki bowling mein debutant Eshan Malinga (2/45) aur Harshal Patel (4/42) ne bhi achha khel dikhaya. PBKS ki taraf se, captain Shreyas Iyer ne 36 balls par 82 runs banaye, jis mein 6 fours aur 6 sixes shamil the. Iyer ne apni recent form ko maintain kiya aur PBKS ko strong position mein rakhne ka kaam kiya. Marcus Stoinis (34* off 11), Nehal Wadhera (27 off 22), Prabhsimran Singh (42 off 23), aur Priyansh Arya (36 off 13) ne bhi achha contribution diya aur PBKS ko ek massive total ki taraf push kiya.
