In a display of sportsmanship and respect, Punjab Kings bowler Arshdeep Singh approached the mother and sister of Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma in the stands after their match on Sunday. Singh, known for his pace and accuracy, sought blessings from Sharma’s mother, Manju, and shared a heartwarming message with her in Punjabi, asking for the same blessings she bestowed upon her son.
This touching gesture was captured on camera and shared on social media by Sharma’s sister, Komal, receiving widespread praise from fans. It is not the first time that Sharma’s family has shared a memorable moment with an opposition player this season. Last week, Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill also touched the feet of Sharma’s mother when their match was washed out.
Abhishek Sharma has been in excellent form this season, emerging as the second-highest run-scorer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. With 467 runs from 13 matches at an impressive strike rate of 209.42, he has played a crucial role in anchoring the team’s innings alongside Travis Head. As the Sunrisers Hyderabad prepare to face the Kolkata Knight Riders in the first qualifier of the playoffs, they will undoubtedly count on another solid opening stand from Sharma to chase their second IPL title.
