Abhishek Sharma delivered a commanding unbeaten 135 off 68 balls, including 10 sixes and 10 fours, to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026 at Hyderabad. Sharma's innings featured his second IPL century, achieved in 47 balls, equalling Virat Kohli's record of nine T20 hundreds. Supported by Travis Head (37) and Heinrich Klaasen (37*), SRH posted 242 for 2. DC struggled in the chase, with Eshan Malinga taking four wickets, finishing at 195 for 9. Tactical errors by DC's bowling and fielding lapses, including missed run-out and dropped catches, contributed to their defeat. SRH moved to third place on the points table with this win.
