I want to have conditional formatting for sheet1 (Columns A-E) in such a way so that cell values which match with the values present in sheet2 (Column A) should be highlighted in red.

I am sharing this example output sheet for your reference.

Please help me out, if it is possible please.

Use this conditional formatting custom formula rule:

=countif(indirect("sheet2!A2:A"), A2)

See your sample spreadsheet.

You can't simply refer to other sheet in Google Sheets conditional formatting, trick is to use INDIRECT when referring to other sheets.

Range A2:I20

Formula:

=VLOOKUP(A2,INDIRECT("Sheet2!$A$12:$A$18"),1,FALSE)>0

Or

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet2!A11:a18"),A2)

Result: enter image description here
