India, May 28 -- The Indian Premier League 2026 playoffs are underway and Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma's woes of low scores at such a crucial stage of the league continue.

The 25-year-old batter, who rose to prominence in Indian cricket through SRH's continuous faith in his talent and skills since his move from Delhi Capitals in 2019, has produced many match-winning and explosive knocks for his side but has failed to deliver when it has mattered the most.

An extraordinary 484-run season in IPL 2024 saw him break out within the SRH setup and become an integral part of the playing XI. However, that season he also had low scores of 3, 12, and 2 in the Q1 and Q2 and final. SRH lost to KKR in the final.

History repeated itself...
