Abhishek Sharma has been one of the few bright spots for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in what has been a miserable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season so far. Having already been eliminated from the playoffs race, Abhishek’s heroics have been crucial in securing the handful victories for SRH this season, including a brilliant match-winning knock 141 against PBKS. Across 11 innings, Abhishek has managed to score 314 runs, including one century and 1 half-century. He is averaging 31.40 at a strike-rate of 180.46.
Against his upcoming opponents Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the young left-handed batter has played four innings and has amassed 101 runs so far. This includes one half-century which is his highest score of 75* against LSG. Averaging 33.67, Abhishek boasts his highest strike-rate of the IPL against LSG of 202.00, but that is also because of the fewer number of matches played against them. While he is yet to score a century against the Lucknow franchise, he is also yet to be dismissed for a duck against LSG.

Preview of upcoming LSG vs SRH IPL 2025 match
LSG are set to take on SRH at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on May 19, 2025, in the 61st match of the IPL 2025. While SRH are already eliminated from the playoffs race, LSG still have a slim chance of making it to the playoffs with three more games remaining. Currently seventh in the points table, LSG will have to win all of their three remaining games starting today against SRH.
Their current form has been a little concerning as the Lucknow franchise has lost three consecutive fixtures before coming into this match. A final push for the playoffs could be the motivation Rishabh Pant’s men need to emerge victorious tonight as they will take on SRH, who are simply playing for pride now.
