Abhishek Sharma’s 46* off 19 is the highest score by a 17-year old in IPL.
He missed becoming the youngest to score a IPL fifty.

Prithvi Shaw, Abhishek Sharma and Sandeep Lamichhane – this is the first time in IPL a side has fielded three players of age 18 or less. #DDvRCB

Disappointment at the Kotla. Enjoyed @abhisheksharma ‘s stellar debut & kept waiting for him to bowl, but it seems his captain forgot he was there while the @DelhiDaredevils pacemen were carted all over the park by @RCBTweets. Once @ABdeVilliers17 & @imVkohli got going, it was? pic.twitter.com/OIJd2OY9uJ
