During the post-match conference, the Southpaw talked about batting with Abhishek.
The pair scored 108 runs in the first eight overs, putting on another century-run partnership. Head went on to smash the fourth-fastest IPL tonne, while Abhishek was out after smashing 34 (22). Nine fours and eight sixes were among the 102 runs the Australian batsman struck in 41 deliveries. In just 39 balls, he achieved a tonne.
The 2023 ODI World Cup winner stated that the surface was too nice to bat on while discussing its characteristics. The groundsmen’s feedback regarding the surface, according to Head, helped them adjust to the circumstances. The SRH batsman asserted that they had every right to pursue the bowlers.
Batting with him is so much fun! Travis Head
The surface performed flawlessly. The groundsmen did provide us with input. We believed that throughout the first six overs, we had to adjust. But they were free to pursue the bowlers, and we had the batting order, Head said, according to India Today.
After smashing RCB for 287 runs, SRH now holds the record for the greatest team total in IPL history.

SRH seems to have one of the strongest batting lineups out of all the IPL clubs. SRH’s successful season thus far in the league can be attributed primarily to the trio of Abhishek, Head, and Heinrich Klaasen. All three of them are on the list of the top 15 batters in the current league in terms of runs scored.
