Abhishek Sharma was one of the breakout stars of the Indian Premier League in the 2024 season. In fact, on the back of his IPL form, he was picked in the national side. Now, it would be interesting to see if Sunrisers Hyderabad look to retain him for the upcoming season or not. While most speculations are that he would be retained and not released, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra picked the players he thinks would be held back by the franchise. He has suggested four names and Abhishek is one of those names. Chopra reckons SRH would retain Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma.

‘They Have a Destructive Team’
“They will retain Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma. I think these four should be retained because you cannot let them go anywhere. They have a destructive team. Both left-handed openers come and hit sixes and then Heinrich Klaasen comes and destroys,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
Claiming that the auctions are going to be extremely interesting, Chopra reckoned that veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar may not be retained.
I don’t think you will retain Bhuvi because it’s a three-year game. I feel the auction and retention are going to be very interesting this time,” the former India opener added.

Abhishek in IPL 2024
Abhishek amassed 484 runs and was one of the leading run-getters from the 2024 season. He along with Travis Head was getting the Sunrisers off to blazing starts and that helped their franchise immensely. Thanks to Abhishek and the rest, the SRH side made it to the final. In the final, they were beaten by the Kolkata Knight Riders .
SRH has won one IPL title and that was way back in 2016 under the leadership of David Warner.
