Abhishek Sharma's fast rise in cricket began with his early impact at the Delhi Capitals as a 17-year-old under Ricky Ponting. Despite his explosive batting and obvious talent, he was traded to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a deal that Ponting opposed. While Shikhar Dhawan joined Delhi, Sharma has since become one of the IPL's most dynamic openers and a key player in the Indian team ahead of the T20 World Cup. The trade highlights the unpredictable nature of cricket decisions and Sharma's continued success.
