Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori has showered praise on the opening duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. While Abhishek has scored 257 runs in seven matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad at a blistering strike rate of 215.97, Head has amassed 324 runs in six matches at an average of 54 and a strike rate of 216.
Both the left-handers have taken the attack against the opposition bowlers from the get-go and has played a key role in the success of the team. Sharma and Head have given blistering starts to their team and have done a fine job.
“Yes, the fearless attitude is contagious, with such quality of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the top,“ Daniel Vettori said in the pree-match press conference.
“We have players complementing them. Those two were fantastic. We all know Klassen is one of the best in the world. But to get performances from Samad, Nitish has been the real difference maker. Every game someone is out to contribute to the team.”
Vettori lauded skipper Pat Cummins for leading from the front. Cummins has been brilliant as a leader and has scalped nine wickets in seven matches at an average of 24.88 and an economy rate of eight.
“He is always well prepared. The performances have been of high standard. He has a strong ability to read the game. He works with bowlers and coaches. That worked well. We have some pressure situations particularly with ball, defending totals. But he made the difference,“ Vettori said.
“If you win the game by 25 or 40 runs, you take that every day. Though the scores are high, when you post big scores, you expect teams to come hard to chase. The wickets are good. The bowlers have done exceptionally well. That was highlighted by Natarajan in the last game. We can’t look at economies, as long as they are below the required rate in the game, they are good,“ he said.
SRH has won five out of the seven matches they have played.
