Watch: Shreyas Iyer's Act After Abhishek Sharma's 'Note' Celebration Leaves Internet In Splits
Punjab Kings opening batter Abhishek Sharma dedicated his match-winning century against Punjab Kings to the fans of Sunrisers Hyderabad, taking out a note for the 'Orange Army' after reaching the triple-digit score on Saturday. Abhishek, who had been struggling for form this entire campaign, finally came to the shore as he smashed a record-breaking score of 141 runs off just 55 balls against the high-flying Punjab side. As Abhishek took out a note from his pocket, after completing his hundred, PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer reached out to him and asked for the note, curious to know what was written on it.
