Against PBKS in the current IPL 2025, Abhishek Sharma celebrated his hundred in a special way. The great batsman reached his century in just 40 balls, which is the third-fastest in league history for an Indian batsman. Then, in a surprising move, Sharma pulled off his helmet, pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, and showed it to the camera.
What Abhishek intended to imply was unclear from the initial looks. When the photograph was zoomed in, the words “This one is for Orange Army” could be seen in the paper. The Southpaw undoubtedly dedicated his scathing remark to all of the people who helped SRH through their difficult period in recent weeks.
Everybody in the arena got up to cheer Sharma’s magnificent knock, which featured some excellent strokes. The league’s third-fastest century for an Indian, after Yusuf Pathan and Priyansh Arya, was achieved by the star batsman in just 40 balls.
