SunRisers Hyderabad put up a dominant show to defeat Lucknow Super Giants by a 10-wicket margin in an IPL 2024 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday. SRH first bowled with discipline to restrict the KL Rahul-led side to a total of 165 for 4 in 20 overs before the duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma made a mockery of the total. Head scored 89 not out off 30 while Abhishek hit unbeaten 75 off 28 as SRH reached home in 9.4 overs without losing any wicket. As soon as Abhishek teed off LSG pacer Yash Thakur for a match-winning six, SRH owner Kavya Maran was spotted in the stands. The pictures of her party are going viral on social media.

SRH's powerful batting stunned LSG captain Rahul. “I'm at a loss for words. We have seen those kinds of battings on TV. But this is unreal batting,” said the opener.
“Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat. Kudos to their skills. They worked hard on their six-striking skills. They didn't give us a chance to know what the pitch was playing in the second innings.
“It was difficult to stop them when they teed off from ball one. Once you are on the losing side, there are question marks over the decisions made. We were 40-50 runs short. When we lost wickets in the powerplay, We couldn't do that.” Ayush (Badoni) and Nicky (Nicholas Pooran) batted well to take us to 166. But even if we had gotten 240, they could have gone after it.”
