Sachin Tendulkar lauded the likes of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head after their dominating performance against Lucknow Super Giants. The two openers completed the chase of 166 runs in 9.4 overs without losing a wicket.
The two were unstoppable on a track that looked slow in the first innings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Head scored an unbeaten 89 runs off 30 balls, laced with 8 sixes and as many fours.
His runs came at a strike rate of 296.66 and the southpaw was named the Player of the Match.
On the other hand, Abhishek amassed 75 not out off 28, with the help of 8 fours and 6 sixes.
Sachin was pleased to see the masterclass of the two openers.
“A destructive opening partnership would be an understatement tonight. Had these boys batted first, they would’ve scored 300! 🤯,” Sachin Tendulkar wrote on X.
Head and Sharma have been unstoppable in the 17th season of the tournament. They have stitched several match-winning partnerships in the ongoing edition.
