SRH have breached the 265-mark thrice in IPL 2024© AFP
The IPL 2024 has seen a sequence of humongous scores – virtually exceptional within the historical past of T20 cricket. Never earlier than the 265-mark was breached within the IPL earlier than. But within the first 4 weeks, the mark was breached by two completely different groups on 4 events. SunRisers Hyderabad have been on the forefront of huge scores within the IPL 2024. They have thus far scored 287/3 (vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru), 277/3 (vs Mumbai Indians) and 266/7 (vs Delhi Capitals). Kolkata Knight Riders scored 272/7 (vs Delhi Capitals).
In the match towards Delhi Capitals, SRH scored a world report 125 in six overs with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma dealing solely in boundaries. SRH breached the 100-run mark in simply 5 overs.
Pakistan tempo legend Wasim Akram was requested in regards to the excessive scores and his response was attention-grabbing.
“Scoring 100 in five overs is illegal. Even if you bowl full toss, that can’t happen. You are paying the bowlers to get hit. I do feel for the bowlers in this format. But it is what it is. Bowlers have to think outside the box. Scoring 100 in five overs is unreal,” Wasim Akram stated on Sportskeeda
“(Speaking about SRH) We all love Australians, the way they play. Who says fast bowler can lead well. It is a different matter, when Pakistan made a fast bowler a captain (Shaheen Afridi). Then SRH have Travis Head, another dangerous player. Don’t in any league there is a more fearsome batting unit than SRH’s. Heinrich Klaasen is one of my favourite players in T20 cricket. He can hit sixes on any ball. Abdul Samad is a great finisher. That is the reason why SRH is at No. 2. Pat Cummins’ captaincy has calmed the team.
“Scoring 270 plus is simply an excessive amount of. It’s like scoring 500 in a 50-over sport. Thank God I’m not bowling. It exhibits how cricket has modified. Boundaries are much less however grounds are identical for 30 years. Hitting, abtting have modified.”
