IPL Abhishek Sharma's Mother Breaks Internet With Reaction To Son's Century In IPL 2025 | SRH vs PBKS Highlights

Abhishek Sharma’s Mother Steals Hearts With Emotional Reaction To Son’s Century In IPL 2025

It’s not every day that cricket gives us moments beyond numbers, beyond boundaries, and beyond records moments that touch the soul of fans. That’s exactly what happened in Hyderabad when Abhishek Sharma, the young Sunrisers Hyderabad batter, scripted one of the most memorable knocks of IPL 2025. His blistering 141 off just 55 balls against Punjab Kings not only powered SRH to a vital win but also created a heartwarming moment that is now ruling the internet his mother’s reaction from the stands.

Abhishek Sharma’s Century: A Statement Made In Style

Heading into the game against Punjab Kings, Abhishek Sharma was under enormous pressure. His performances earlier in the tournament were far from convincing, with scores of 24, 6, 1, 2, and 18 raising serious doubts about his place in the Sunrisers Hyderabad playing XI. In a tournament where competition for spots is ruthless, those numbers could easily sideline any young cricketer.

But Abhishek Sharma isn’t just any youngster. The SRH management, showing great faith in his talent and potential, gave him another chance. And how spectacularly he repaid that faith!

Walking in with questions hanging over his form, the left-hander unleashed one of the most destructive innings the IPL has witnessed. His 55-ball 141, laced with a staggering 14 sixes and 7 boundaries, completely dismantled Punjab Kings' bowling attack. It wasn’t just about the numbers; it was about timing, audacity, and the fearless spirit of a cricketer finally finding his rhythm.

A Mother's Reaction That Won The Internet

But even more viral than Abhishek’s sixes was his mother, Manju Sharma’s, candid reaction after her son’s heroic knock. Sitting in the stands alongside Abhishek’s father in Hyderabad, Manju Sharma expressed a raw, unfiltered emotion that resonated with every parent watching.

Speaking in a video shared by IPL on social media, she joyfully said, “Sabko khushi hai, maa ko bhi khushi hai, pure Hyderabad ko khushi hai ki match jeeteya. Thoda stop lag gaya tha lekin ab nahi lagega, ab continue chalega” (Everyone is happy, I’m happy, the whole of Hyderabad is happy that we won. There was a slight pause earlier, but now there won’t be now it will continue).

The video clip spread like wildfire across social media platforms, earning reactions from fans, cricketers, and celebrities alike. It wasn’t just a celebration of Abhishek’s innings but also a celebration of unconditional parental love, belief, and pride.

Behind The Knock: Battling Illness And Self-Doubt

Abhishek Sharma later revealed that his sensational knock had come after battling a fever for four days. Speaking after the match, he said, “To be honest, I was sick for four days. I had temperature. But I am very grateful to have people like Yuvraj Singh and Suryakumar Yadav around me. Because they were the ones who were continuously calling me.”

It’s not every day that a young cricketer has legends like Yuvraj and Surya checking in on him. Their words of motivation seemed to have played a critical role in reviving Abhishek’s self-belief.

"Sometimes, as an individual, you start doubting yourself, especially when the runs aren't coming. But when people like Yuvi paaji and Surya bhai back you, that belief comes back. It was just a matter of one innings for me," Abhishek added.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's Leap In The Points Table

Thanks to Abhishek Sharma’s innings, SRH not only managed to climb out of the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table but also made a loud statement to the rest of the teams. His knock has opened up several possibilities for SRH, which had been struggling with their top-order consistency this season.

With his power-hitting and fearless approach, Abhishek has given SRH a much-needed X-factor someone who can single-handedly change the course of a match.
