IPL 2024: Veteran Michael Vaughan has made a big prediction about Sunrisers Hyderabad's young opening batsman Abhishek Sharma breaking Virat Kohli's record of hitting most sixes in a season in IPL 2024. Former England captain Michael Vaughan says that like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma can also play all three formats for India. This season, Abhishek Sharma has scored a total of 467 runs in 13 matches at a tremendous strike rate of 209.42. With this, he also became the Indian player to hit the most sixes in a single season of IPL.
Michael Vaughan said, if you see the story of Yashasvi Jaiswal, you will know that he has progressed very fast in IPL and Team India. Suddenly he entered test cricket. It might be too early to say but Abhishek Sharma can definitely do it. Only then will he reach the international stage and then it will seem as if he has been playing for 15 years. I think Abhishek Sharma is not far from this.
Comparison with Yuvraj Singh and Brian Lara
Vaughan has compared Abhishek Sharma with Yuvraj Singh and Brian Lara and said that he can play in all three formats easily. His technique is amazing. On the basis of Abhishek's brilliant performance, Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to reach the playoffs. SRH will face KKR in the first qualifier on May 21.
Abhishek became the first Indian to hit 40 sixes
Abhishek Sharma is the first Indian player in the history of IPL to hit 40 or more sixes in a season. 23 year old young player Abhishek has broken Virat Kohli's record of hitting most sixes by an Indian player in a season with 41 sixes. Kohli hit 38 sixes in IPL 2016.
