The Sunrisers Hyderabad made a mockery of Mumbai Indian's bowling lineup on Wednesday. In a thrilling IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Travis Head left a blazing mark at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The hard-hitting batter, who missed the first game, unleashed his fury against the Mumbai bowlers by setting the stage on fire.

With an onslaught of powerful shots, Travis Head made the Mumbai Indians' bowling lineup appear helpless, earning praise as a 'six-hitting machine' from commentators. His aggressive batting propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to their highest-ever powerplay total in IPL history, scoring 81 runs in just six overs while losing only one wicket.

Travis Head's feat included the fastest fifty for SRH, achieved in just 18 balls. He hammered his fifty with a strike rate of over 258, comprising 9 fours and 3 sixes. He hammered 62 runs off 24 balls.

Abhishek Sharma continues slaughter

However, Abhishek Sharma, entering at number 3 stole the spotlight from Travis Head. Displaying impeccable hitting skills, Sharma smashed boundaries and sixes with ease, reaching his fifty in just 16 balls. His explosive innings of 63 runs off 23 balls, at a staggering strike rate of around 275, continued the onslaught on the Mumbai bowlers.

Sharma's partnership with Travis Head had already tilted the game firmly in Sunrisers Hyderabad's favor, leaving the Mumbai Indians struggling to regain control. Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 277/3 in 20 overs.
