In the 2024 Indian Premier League, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma led Sunrisers Hyderabad to a decisive 10-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants with an exhibition of pure aggressive batting.
In the IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Lucknow Super Giants by a commanding 10-wicket margin on Wednesday thanks to a display of pure aggressive batting from Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. SRH needed just 9.4 overs to finish their chase of 166 without losing a single wicket. For LSG, who suffered a severe blow in their IPL 2024 playoff campaign, it was a significant loss. The video of LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka and Rahul having a heated conversation after the game has gone viral on social media. Many social media users expressed their displeasure with Goenka’s behavior of the LSG captain following the loss after the incident’s footage go viral.
“I’m at a loss for words. That type of batting has been seen on television. But this batting is unbelievable. Everything appeared to locate itself in the bat’s middle. Bravo for their abilities. Their six hitting skills are the result of much practice. They denied us the opportunity to learn the pitch’s role in the second inning.”
“It was difficult to stop them as they teed off from ball one. When you lose, the decisions you make become questionable. We fell 40-50 runs short. We were unable to gain momentum after losing wickets in the powerplay. Ayush and Nicky batted superbly, propelling us to 166. But even if we had scored 240, they could have pursued it,” Rahul added after the match.
SRH skipper Pat Cummins was likewise astounded by his team’s performance.
“On did he modify the pitch? Perhaps Travis and Abhishek did. We simply let them go; they’re two really positive individuals, and as a bowler, it’s difficult for me to give them any advice. (On Travis Head) He’s been like this for two years, he hits the tough spots, he hits the middle a lot, and he may not be very conventional. (On Abhishek Sharma) He’s a fantastic spin and pace player. With only two fielders out, bowlers have a really difficult time against them.
(On where the game is going) I believe the scores have risen, and when the wickets are good, it is difficult to find replies against batters who get going. “The boys had a fantastic season, but to win this with less than 10 overs is unbelievable,” he remarked.
