Match-winning partnership by Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head
Abhishek’s phenomenal 75-run innings off just 28 balls, coupled with Head’s superb unbeaten 89 from 30 deliveries, not only broke several T20 records but also provided a significant momentum boost to SRH in their quest for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, LSG could only muster a target of 166 runs.
However, Head and Abhishek launched a blistering assault right from the beginning of the chase. Remarkably, they chased down the target in just 9.4 overs, amassing 167 runs, setting a record for the highest runs scored by any team in the first 10 overs in the history of Men’s T20 cricket.
