After completing his century, Abhishek took out a note from his pocket, after which Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer reached out to him and asked for the note.

Shreyas, who himself put up a brilliant performance in that match with 82 off 36 balls, couldn't hide his excitement after seeing the note dedicated by Abhishek to SRH fans. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Iyer asking for Abhishek .
Abhishek hit 14 fours and 10 sixes during his brilliant innings. Abhishek said in the presentation after the match, "Special mention to the team and the captain. The batsmen were not performing well, yet the atmosphere was good. It was a special day for both of us. If you've seen me closely, I never play behind the wicket. But I wanted to hit some shots that are very easy on this wicket. It helped both of us. "
When his parents were on the field, Abhishek said, "I was waiting for them. My entire team was waiting for my parents as they were lucky for SRH.
