Abhishek Sharma unhappy at SRH as Mumbai Indians among interested franchises

Opening batter Abhishek Sharma is reportedly seeking a departure from Sunrisers Hyderabad before the upcoming retention deadline ahead of the IPL 2027 season. The alleged friction stems from leadership decisions, as the franchise opted to install Ishan Kishan as captain rather than fulfilling Abhishek's own leadership aspirations.

Several rival organizations, including Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Delhi Capitals—where Yuvraj Singh serves in a mentorship role—have emerged as prospective landing spots during this window. Although reports suggest a tense environment and informal discussions with outside squads, SRH chief executive officer K Shanmugam has publicly dismissed these claims of discontent as completely false.
