IPL 2024: [Watch] 6 6 4 4 – Travis Head Rips Apart Mumbai Indians Debutant Kwena Mapahaka During MI vs SRH Match
Travis Head scored 62 runs from 24 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opening batter, Travis Head, ripped apart Mumbai Indians’ (MI) newcomer Kwena Mapahaka, hammering four boundaries in a row at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday.
Travis Head, in his debut appearance for Hyderabad, wasted no time in getting off the mark with a boundary off Kwena Maphaka‘s opening ball. However, it was in the South African youngster’s next over that Head truly excelled.
Tim David’s dropped catch at mid-off in the second over proved way too costly for Mumbai and Maphaka as the Australian batter capitalised on his luck, smashing a six over long-on and then unleashing a 98-metre pull shot over deep square leg in the third over.
Opting for a full delivery, Maphaka faced the wrath of Travis Head, who beautifully drove the ball down the ground for a boundary. The Australian batter finished the over with a crafty shot over third man, adding 22 runs to his tally.
With a strong start, Travis Head reached a fifty within the powerplay, leading SRH to a formidable 81 runs, setting a new record for the franchise. Head ended up scoring 62 runs from 24 balls with the help of nine boundaries and three sixes.
