Abhishek Sharma and his 171-run partnership with Travis Head made light work of Punjab Kings' (PBKS) mammoth target of 246 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) cruised home by eight wickets with nine balls left in their IPL encounter on Saturday.

Whether Abhishek Sharma is in form or not, you don’t get up from your seat if he’s batting. Whether he’s had a string of failures or lots of successes, you can’t tear your eyes away. Because every ball is an adventure.

Abhishek's 141 surpasses Marcus Stoinis ' 124 as the highest individual score in a run chase. Overall, Abhishek's knock stands as the third highest score in IPL history, only behind Chris Gayle 's 175 in 2013 and Brendon McCullum 's 158 in the first-ever IPL game in 2008.
