SRH Travis Head Talks Big Runs Ahead of DC Clash
As Sunrisers Hyderabad gear up to face Delhi Capitals in their next IPL 2024 encounter, the focus remains on SRH’s formidable batting lineup and their potential to breach the 300-run mark in an IPL contest.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has been on a run-scoring spree this season, crossing the 200-run mark on three occasions and even matching and then breaking the highest-ever total in an IPL contest. The attacking batting order of SRH has led to curiosity about what could happen next, with many wondering if the Hyderabad-based franchise could be the next to cross the 300-run mark in an IPL contest.
Speaking to the media ahead of the upcoming DC vs SRH clash, SRH opening batter Travis Head shed light on his team’s batting prowess and the records that Sunrisers players could break in the next few games. “It’s not going to work every game. But I can tell you, everyone’s terrified when they come up against us, and we have to blow some teams out of the water before they have even walked out on the field,” said Head.
Head further delved into SRH’s approach for scoring big runs, stating that while there will be games where the all-out aggressive approach may not work, Sunrisers are counting on having more good days than bad. “There’s going to be a game where it may not come off, and we’ve seen that against the Kings in the first half, but Nitish (Reddy) played an exceptional knock to get us to where we needed. Also, to understand that yeah, it’s okay if it doesn’t work, and we’ve got to keep the belief and keep moving, and hopefully, we’ll have more good days than bad,” he added.
In their previous match, Sunrisers Hyderabad set the record book ablaze with a total of 288 runs, the highest ever scored in an IPL match. SRH opener Travis Head also scored the fourth-highest century in the history of the cash-rich league, while Heinrich Klaasen (67 off 31 balls), Aiden Markram (32 off 17 balls), and Abdul Samad (37 off 10 balls) also contributed to the chase.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals secured a win against Gujarat Titans by restricting them to a miserly total of 89, thanks to some incredible bowling from Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma, and Mukesh Kumar. Later on, the DC batsmen, led by Rishabh Pant, cruised to an easy 6-wicket win.
As SRH’s batters prepare to take on DC’s formidable bowling lineup, the anticipation is high, and fans are eager to witness another explosive performance from the Hyderabad-based franchise.
The DC vs SRH clash promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams aiming to secure a crucial win in the IPL 2024 season.
