Abhishek's sister Komal also expressed her grief over the demise of Leo.

"2019 - 2025 LEO, you were the most beautiful soul to ever walk into my life. The best dog in the entire world. I don't know how my days are going to be without you now. But I just want to thank you--for being there for me through every high and low, for being my constant, my comfort, my companion. You were my little baby, and you'll always be. I'll miss you every single minute--from eating food together to our endless Geddis, from our peaceful late-night walks to those early morning strolls. You were my nariyal paani partner, my car ride buddy, my sleeping buddy, my saviour, my soulmate... my everything," she wrote.

Meanwhile, on the work front front, Abhishek lit up the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with a jaw-dropping knock of 141 off just 55 balls against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Hyderabad, drawing praise from cricketing legends.

While I sympathize with his loss, I wish athletes would focus more on their game than social media posts. That 141 was incredible though!
