Abhishek Sharma hit a 32-ball century in the last match. He broke the cricket in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025. He plays for Punjab and just put on a batting class against Bengal. This innings was something else – the kind you tell your kids about someday.
Which Team Does Abhishek Sharma Play For?
So Abhishek Sharma wears the Punjab jersey in SMAT 2025 matches across India. He opens alongside Prabhsimran Singh and these two have been attacking bowlers all season. Opposition captains probably lose sleep thinking about facing this opening pair in 2025.
Punjab is lucky to have Abhishek on its team. His fierce batting style matches exactly what Punjab loves – going hard from ball one. Everyone in the squad knows he can single-handedly win matches on his day.
The Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy stage lets him show India what he’s really capable of. Playing for his home state clearly means everything to this young gun.
Record-Breaking Century Against Bengal
The match happened in Hyderabad where he went absolutely crazy on Bengal’s bowlers. He smashed his fifty in just 12 balls which sounds almost impossible. Even world-class bowlers Mohammed Shami and Akash Deep couldn’t stop this rampage.
Abhishek hammered 7 fours and 11 massive sixes during his brutal innings. His strike rate crossed 300 which is completely bonkers for SMAT standards. The Bengal fielders were just ball-watching helplessly as boundaries kept flying everywhere.
This 32-ball century now ranks as the third fastest T20 hundred by any Indian. Urvil Patel holds the record with a 28-ball century from 2024. But honestly, Abhishek’s knock felt even more hardcore watching it live.
Partnership Record and Final Score
Abhishek Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh put together a monster opening stand worth remembering. They added 205 runs in just 76 deliveries which broke all previous records. Sanju Samson and Rohan Kunnummal held the old record of 177 runs before this.
He finally got out after scoring 148 runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy match. That’s now the second-highest individual score in SMAT history for 2025. Only Tilak Verma’s 151 against Meghalaya in 2024 stands above this incredible knock.
Punjab’s team will keep backing Abhishek Sharma to produce more such fireworks this season.
