Travis Head Involved In Animated Exchange With Glenn Maxwell And Marcus Stoinis.
Sunrisers Hyderabad posted an 8-wicket win over Punjab Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday in IPL 2025 as they completed the second-highest chase in the history of the cash-rich T20 franchise league.
SRH chased down a target of 246 runs with 9 balls to spare thanks to Abhishek Sharma’s 141-run innings that helped SRH soar over the line in stunning fashion.
Travis Head, who added 66 runs off 33 deliveries to aid his teammate in the pursuit, was involved in an animated bit of exchange with compatriots Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis, who play for Punjab, during the run-fest in Hyderabad.
The Punjab side got off to a blistering start thanks to Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh after skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat. Arya was scalped for 36 and Prabhsimran fell shy of his fifty by 8 runs while Shreyas Iyer led from the front with his 82-run innings and was supported by Nehal Wadhera, who contributed with 27 runs.
However, Punjab managed to capitalise on a rapid start with Shreyas holding out in the middle overs before Marcus Stoinis produced a late cameo of an unbeaten 34 to take his side to a total of 245/ 6 wickets.
SRH began the chase in style as Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head held the first wicket for 171 runs as both batters scaled the 50-run milestone individually before Head fell prey to Yuzvendra Chahal, while Abhishek continued his show by completing his century before going on to score the highest individual score for an Indian in an IPL game with his 141 run knock off just 55 deliveries that boost SRH towards the target. Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen saw the game out after Abhishek fell to Arshdeep Singh for SRH to pick up their second win of the season.
