Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 67th Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player HighlightsSRH vs RCB, 67th Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player Highlights
Suyash Sharma to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by (sub)Jordan Cox!! Finally he's made the googly plan work but the key to this dismissal was there was no room on offer unlike the two balls that went for six. Abhishek Sharma was down the track for a biggie again, the googly started down the leg-side, seemed like it curved away a wee bit, which is what put Abhishek's timing off. He had to further adjust to the spin and ended up toe-ending so high and Cox is well inside the rope this time to collect a sitter. Abhishek Sharma has done a wonderful job and made batting look easier than it actually is. Abhishek Sharma c (sub)Jordan Cox b Suyash Sharma 56(22) [4s-4 6s-5]

Romario Shepherd to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, uppish but Hoff couldn't get his hand to it diving to the right at short third man. Slower ball, very full and outside off stump, Abhishek loses one hand on the handle and slices in hope

Romario Shepherd to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, that's an absolute gift from Romario Shepherd and it gives Abhishek Sharma his first ever fifty against RCB. It's finally come in his 12th attempt. Full and on the pads, Abhishek says thank you very much and flicks over backward square leg, again teases the fielder and clears the rope. Raises the bat to the crowd and celebrates in his trademark style

Romario Shepherd to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, slapped away to long-off
7.1

Romario Shepherd to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, just run in and offer a slot ball to a set batter, the captain won't be happy with this effort. Abhishek extends his lofted drive and holds the pose, DDP jumps and tries to grab at long-on but tips it over the bar

Suyash Sharma to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, googly on the leg stump, Abhishek works it to mid-wicket

Suyash Sharma to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, this is so high, not that long enough. Substitute Jordan Cox takes the catch but he signals six straightaway. Oh yes, he's stepped on the rope. Cox moved to the right from long-off, caught it but couldn't stop getting close to the rope. In fact he didn't move much as well so he could have easily stopped himself a couple of inches inside the rope before releasing and coming back into the field of play to take the catch again. Probably wasn't aware of where exactly the rope was. Meanwhile it's baffling that Suyash Sharma continues to bowl goolies to Abhishek Sharma and that too outside off stump, which lets him easily access the off-side fence. He escapes despite a mishit

Suyash Sharma to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, it's too full and it's well known that Abhishek loves playing long-off, wide long-off and cover. Absolute slot ball and it was even a googly that Abhishek could play with the turn as well
5.4
Rasikh Salam Dar to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, in the airrrr, dropped but a toughie for Venky. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Abhishek Sharma absolutely smashed the pull shot flat. Venky ran to his right from deep square leg and ended up almost overrunning as the ball burst through his fingers and hit the left thigh

Rasikh Salam Dar to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, it's high, it's a mishit but there is no deep mid-wicket so he escapes. Great temperament from Rasikh Salam Dar to bounce back hard after the early assault from Head. He's deceived Abhishek here with a lovely slower ball, Rajat gave chase but it escaped from him
4.5
Josh Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, 3 runs, oh sloppy from the RCB skipper. Abhishek Sharma pulled this shortish delivery with difficulty over mid-wicket. DDP mops up in the deep and hurls the throw towards the bowler's end. Easy two. Hoff lets this throw to be backed up by Venky Iyer who had it covered at cover. But Rajat suddenly ran in front of him from mid-off to force a fumble
4.5
Josh Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, wide, oh the slower ball bumper, Abhishek tries to ramp it over the keeper but misses. Called wide for height and RCB don't want to waste a challenge
4.4
Josh Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, no run, wide yorker outside off stump, Abhishek tries to squeeze it and misses
4.2
Josh Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, uppish this time and it just lands in front of backward point, they take a run
4.1
Josh Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, no run, short of length delivery, Abhishek picks out the man at point
2.5
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, again Abhishek Sharma literally backed away and met that outside the pitch. He wants to access the off-side as there is no one in the deep, but Bhuvi is hell bent on not giving him room and it's a tuck to the on-side
2.3
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, Abhishek steps out while backing away, Bhuvi smartly follows him and only allows a nudge behind square for a run
2.2

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, now he's hit this over mid-wicket. Bhuvi tries the wobble seam ball, that's a sign he thinks it's not swinging any more. Abhishek stays leg-side and sends it over the infield for four more
2.1

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, flicks, but tries to be too cute and thankfully for SRH and Abhishek Sharma Krunal was quite wide at fine leg and he couldn't get there for the catch running to the right or deny the boundary. Length delivery on the pads, Abhishek flicks in the air and escapes as he found the gap
1.4
Josh Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, it's been nothing but back of a length from Josh Hazlewood so far, Abhishek guides this with an angled bat and almost gets four, wide third man just enters the frame to save three

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, no run, now looks pace off, Abhishek didn't read the change of pace but managed to keep it out

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, slapped off the back foot and it sailed over long-off. Never allow this man to access the off-side by freeing his arms. Loves hitting over the top and this time he hit it wide of long-off for the first six of the day
0.2
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, 2 wides, rare wayward ball early on from Bhuvi and great work from Jitesh Sharma to dive full length to the right and get a hand on it to save three runs. Bhuvi wanted to surprise Abhishek with the inswinger this time but fired it down the leg-side
0.1
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Abhishek Sharma, no run, nice outswinger finishing around off stump from good length. First signs of ball nicely coming on and Abhishek Sharma absolutely middled that defence. Had it been a couple of yards either side of the man at cover would have been four. All he did was just defend and it raced
