It was a record-breaking innings like no other when Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma went berserk against the Lucknow Super Giants bowlers on Wednesday.
The SRH openers notched up several feats including their second-best partnership in terms of balls for this season. The duo amassed 100 runs off the first wicket in just 34 balls.
Sharma finished with an unbeaten 75 off 28 balls while Travis Head smashed a 30-ball 89.
After being adjudged Player of the Match, Head opined that he and Sharma compliment each other very well, 'I know how hard he works and how deep he thinks, his spin play is second to none. We compliment each other very well. Nice to see him back amongst the runs after missing out the last couple of game.'
SRH chased down the paltry total in a mere 9.4 overs but Head stated that the Hyderabad pair did not think about the Net Run-Rate until the first timeout, 'We didn't think about it till the timeout, but after that the boys came out and told us to score quickly. The crowd was exceptional tonight, that's what we needed after losing the last two.'
Head's targets for Wednesday weren't just pacers, this time he took the spinners in his carnage too. The 30-year-old was not known for his spin-hitting skills, until May 08.
'It is something I have been working on, it will be a big part in the Caribbean as well. It is important to go 360 in the modern game,' Head stated.
He went on to add that the fearless approach seen in his batting is a mere continuation of what he does in the Australian team and has been asked to do in the IPL as well.
