Delhi Citals were also mentioned as a possibility. Reports on Friday, October 2, suggest that the left-handed opener is unhpy at SRH ever since the franchise decided to hand over the position to Ishan Kishan.

According to the sources cited in the reports, Abhishek had his own security ambitions and the decision created a tense atmosphere between the player and the franchise. What are Abhishek Sharma’s plans ahead of the IPL 2027 mini-auction? According to the Times of India, IPL franchises still have more than a month to freeze their core inventory of remaining players ahead of the mini-auction scheduled for December.

This window gives Abhishek and interested franchises time to consider their plans before a formal decision can be made. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have emerged as one of the prominent names associated with the opener, along with Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings. Delhi Citals represents another avenue as Yuvraj Singh is now part of her mentoring city, a factor that might peal to Abhishek given their rumored relationship.

“It is no secret that Abhishek Sharma is unhpy with SRH since the job went to Ishan Kishan. He’s been with the franchise for a long time and obviously had ambitions when it came to safety. Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings have been explored as potential destinations and we cannot rule out Delhi Citals either as his mentor Yuvraj Singh is now part of the organization,” TOI quoted their source as saying.

Why would Abhishek Sharma be unhpy at SRH? The reported dissatisfaction is due to SRH’s control decision ahead of IPL 2027. Ishan Kishan served as the interim skipper for the franchise during IPL 2026 before Pat Cummins returned from injury to resume regular duties.

While Kishan is now expected to take over the position of full-time ctain for IPL 2027, Abhishek is best positioned in the franchise’s plans as vice-boss. “There aren’t many job opportunities at the moment. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are close but most other teams are sorted.

Even if SRH and Abhishek agree to go their separate ways, the big question remains: Where to? And how will the SSR position itself even if it agrees? Lots of factors,” the source added.

However, SRH managing director K Shanmugam termed reports of Abhishek’s misfortune as “false” and dismissed the claims circulating in the media. Although SRH’s official position is that there is no problem, reports suggest that informal dialogue has already taken place with several franchises, although nothing substantial has materialized yet.
