Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: One of the chief reasons behind Punjab winning its first-ever Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in the ongoing 2023-24 domestic cricket season was the fantastic performance from all-rounder Abhishek Sharma.

The left-handed bowler, who also sends down some overs of handy left-arm spin bowling, was named the Player of the tournament for making 485 runs in ten innings in the competition, including a 45-ball 77 in a thumping semi-final win over Delhi to successfully chase down 184.

Sharma, a member of 2018 Men’s U19 World Cup winning side, hit two centuries and three fifties at an average of 48.50 and strike-rate of 192.46, while also slamming 35 fours and 39 sixes and taking two wickets with his bowling.
