The Pat Cummins led side can’t afford to take PBKS lightly as they have nothing to lose which makes them a dangerous side. All eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma who has been in the terrific form and he along with Travis Head will be keen to demolish PBKS’ fragile bowling line up.
Travis Head recalls his IPL career
Sunrisers Hyderabad explosive southpaw and Aussie batter Travis Head recalls his IPL career when he was with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) but he didn’t receive many chances and was benched mostly. Later he mentions Virat Kohli, Ab De Villiers, and Chris Gayle the dynamic trio who was the most explosive batting unit at that time speaks about them and how he got the privilege to share the dressing room with them. He says:
“Walking into that dressing room was crazy. I was young and it feels like a long time ago. And I probably didn’t understand myself enough around off-field stuff or even game stuff and I was watching how AB went about and Gayle went about. Every guy went differently and every guy had certain things that they excelled at or were great at. AB’s understanding of the game was incredible,”
“Virat’s preparation was second to none. And the way Chris went out and performed on match day was just outrageous. So each guy had those things that I sort of drew upon and understand a blueprint,” he stated.
“I just feel like there’s a lot more experience and there’s a lot more understanding around my game and there’s probably a lot more belief around what I can achieve or what I can do. I don’t sort of try, there are always doubts and there are always things you go through in mind I guess. Seven or eight years has passed, (I’ve) achieved a few things in international cricket you can draw back on,” he added.
Today he has explained how modern t2o cricket should be played and how approach matters for batsmen. Travis Head has scored 533 runs and has helped Sunrisers Hyderabad to qualify for playoffs.
