New Delhi. Indian batsman Abhishek Sharma, who is currently one of the explosive openers in T20 cricket, will once again be seen destroying the bowlers when he will be in action in IPL 2026. In this upcoming season of IPL starting from 28th March, Abhishek's eyes will be on giving a good start to Sunrisers Hyderabad with stormy batting and winning the match. If Abhishek's bat works, many records will be broken. Let us tell you about those four records which Abhishek can make in his name in IPL 2026.

Four shots away from completing a century of sixes
Abhishek Sharma is four steps away from hitting 100 sixes in IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad. While playing IPL for SRH, Abhishek Sharma has hit 96 sixes so far. After hitting four more sixes, he will score a century and will become the second batsman to do so for this team. Till now only David Warner has managed to hit 100 sixes in IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad. This former Australian opener has 143 sixes in his name. Heinrich Klaasen is after Abhishek with 88 sixes.

close to completing 2000 runs
Abhishek Sharma is close to completing 2000 runs in IPL. Abhishek has so far scored 1816 runs in 73 innings of 77 IPL matches. If he scores 184 runs, he will join the club of batsmen who have scored 2000 runs in this tournament. Abhishek can achieve this feat for Sunrisers also. Abhishek has scored 1753 runs so far for Sunrisers. This left-handed batsman can become the fourth batsman to complete 2,000 runs for SRH. He will make a place in the club of David Warner (4014), Shikhar Dhawan (2768) and Kane Williamson (2101).

Can become the first batsman to do so
Abhishek has crossed the 400-run mark every time in the last two seasons. In IPL 2024, he played an important role in taking the team to the final by scoring 484 runs at a strike rate of 204.21. At the same time, in the last season he scored 439 runs at an excellent strike rate of 193.39. No other batsman has scored 400+ runs at a strike rate of more than 190 in more than one season. If Abhishek is successful in repeating the performance of the last two times in IPL 2026, then he can become the first batsman to do so thrice.

eye on creating history
Abhishek had scored 141 runs in just 55 balls against Punjab Kings last season, which is the record for the highest individual score ever made by an Indian in this league. This is his fourth 135+ score in T20 cricket. His other scores are 148 (2025) and 135 (2025). Abhishek can become the first batsman in T20 history to score 135 or more four times. At present, he is jointly at number-1 in this matter along with Chris Gayle.
