VIDEO: Abhishek Sharma's Father, Kavya Maran Reaction Goes Viral After SRH Batter Drops 'Cold' Celebration After Century

Abhishek Sharma smashed the second highest score by an Indian in IPL history with a stunning 135 against the Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. Sharma put on a batting show, smashing 10 fours and 10 sixes at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. After reaching his century, Abhishek celebrated in style, with his father and Kavya Maran elated in the stands.

After reaching his century, Abhishek Sharma stood in the middle of the pitch and folded his hands in celebration. It is a celebration that mirrors the famous one by Chelsea forward Cole Palmer.

He then proceeded to showcase his 'L' to the crowd. Watching in the stands, SRH owner Kavya Maran jumped with joy applauding his efforts. Abhishek's parents were also in attendance, cheering on.

SRH post 242 after Abhishek show

After being put in to bat, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head gave Sunrisers Hyderabad a flying start, scoring nine runs in the opening over. Nitish Rana responded with a tight second over, conceding just six runs, but the momentum quickly shifted back as both openers struck a boundary each off Mukesh Kumar in the next over.

Lungi Ngidi came into the attack in the fourth over but was taken for 10 runs. The pressure mounted in the following over when Sharma and Head took on the charge against Rana, scoring 20 runs to bring up a brisk 50-run opening partnership. Sharma capped off an impressive power play by smashing a six on the final ball, guiding SRH to a commanding 67 without loss at the end of the field restrictions.

In the same over, SRH's skipper Kishan got run out for 25; however, Sharma thumped Rana in the 15th over for 23 runs to take SRH's total to 183-2. This also marked the second instance of Abhishek Sharma smashing 10 sixes in an IPL innings, making him only the second batter to achieve the feat multiple times after Chris Gayle, who has done it four times.
