There is a certain kind of batter that does not get the credit they deserve until it is almost too late to give it. The kind who quietly piles up runs, breaks records, rewrites history — and somehow still gets overlooked in the conversation about who the best players in the world actually are.
Abhishek Sharma is that batter. And after what he did to Delhi Capitals on April 21, 2026, it is time to stop overlooking him.
135 not out. 68 balls. 10 fours. 10 sixes. A record that had belonged to Chris Gayle — one of the most destructive batters the game has ever produced — gone. Just like that. By a 26-year-old from Amritsar who bats like he has absolutely nothing to fear.
