Abhishek Sharma also set a new record with the highest score in an extraordinary inning against the Punjab Kings, a Sunriser Hyderabad batsman who surpassed David Warner’s previous 126.
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head created a 246 run goal, creating a strong opening partnership with a score of 171. Travis Head showed off his excellent form, earning 66 runs with just 37 balls, including nine quarters and three sixes before being fired.
Sunrisers Hyderabad needs a strong chase to start, and Head and Sharma make that effort. Their aggressive hit left Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer struggled to find a way to curb them.
Abhishek Sharma became the more aggressive of the two, and he confidently accepted bowling balls like Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal and Glenn Maxwell.
In an earlier inning, Shreyas Iyer, captain of the Punjab Kings, won the game and chose to hit the ball. His team’s total is 245/6, thanks in large part to his own impressive 82 runs.
