SRHS Abhishek Sharma admits that four back-to-back matches were injured
Hyderabad, April 12 (PTI) who lost four back-to-back matches was to weigh the opener Abhishek Sharma’s thoughts and he wanted to “break” the streak and Sunrisers help Hyderabad come from the series of defeats, which pushed them to the bottom of the scoring table. Abhishek, who went through a weak form of shape, achieved a breathtaking 141 of 55 balls, while SRH wrote the second highest chase in IPL history to return to winning matches with a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over Punjab Kings in high-score encounter Saturday. “This one is very special because I wanted to break the loss of loss. Losing four back -to -back games was very difficult. But we never talked about it in the team. Special mention to Yuvi Paji (Yuvrj Singh) and Suryakumar (Yadav). They were also in touch with me,” lying down. After the victory, SRH moved from 10th place in the IPL standings to 8th place. Abhishek said the atmosphere in the team never changed, despite the defeats, which was one of the reasons that SRH could chase the big total. “The atmosphere was simple, although the fighters did not do well,” he said. With his parents watching from the plots, there was all the more reason to deliver an excellent performance. “I was waiting for them. My whole team was waiting for my parents because they were happy for SRH, ‘he said. The opener added that the easy wicket gave him options to find out and innovate his shots. “If you’ve seen me close enough, I never play behind the wicket. But I wanted to find out a few shots that were very easily on this wicket. This helped us both (he and the opening of partner Travis Head). We didn’t talk anything. It was just a natural game for (both). The partnership has boosted me, “he said. SRH captain Pat Cummins said his bowlers had few options to stop the flow of runs early, as the wicket was very comfortable. “I think you don’t have too many options, it’s a good wicket, the slower balls don’t really respond, bars around here, so you’re just trying.” The Australian Pacer said he was a big fan of Abhishek’s batting. “Yes, I’m a very big fan of Abhi. Look, we talked about it before the game. We were very happy with how everyone goes and exercises and the shape, it just didn’t click. ‘ So we didn’t want to change the recipe or tear it apart. We concentrate on what we make good players and Abhi showed that first hand. The batting group played quite here last year. And there is a real confidence, “he added. To make 245 and still lose the game is something unexpected and PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer finds him at the end of the match.” It was a fantastic total (PBKS made). It made me laugh with the way they chased it with two overs. We could have taken two special catches. “He (Abhisek) was also a little happy, though he played an extraordinary beat. Catches win your matches and we got there short. We didn’t bowl well, but we have to go back to the drawing board. The way he hit the ball and the opening partnership was wonderful. ‘ First published: 13 Apr 2025, 12:29 am Ist
