Watch: Travis Head forces Abhishek Sharma to get run-out in DC vs SRH clash

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Abhishek Sharma had a torrid outing with the bat in the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

Abhishek Sharma, who opened the innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad, faced the first ball of the match and charged down Mitchell Starc. However, even before he played his second ball, he had to walk back to the pavilion, thanks to the poor call of Travis Head.

On the last ball of the first over, Mitchell Starc bowled a yorker wide of off to which Travis Head looked to squeeze it through the off-side. The ball, however, deflected onto his back pad via an inside edge and he called Abhishek Sharma for a single while watching the ball.

Abhishek Sharma immediately raised his hand straightaway signalling no, but Travis Head kept running ball-watching. The India opener was very late to get going and in the end, gave up as Vipraj Nigam hit the bullseye at the keeper's end with an under-arm throw to send the batter packing.

Abhishek Sharma managed just one run off the one ball in the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals

Abhishek Sharma managed just one run off the one ball in the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals. This was his third consecutive failure in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). He played an innings of 24 runs against RR and then managed just 6 runs against Lucknow Super Giants.

After the wicket of Sharma, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost quick wickets and came under massive pressure. Pacer Mitchell Starc was all over the batters in the powerplay as he picked three wickets to put his team at the top.

Mitchell Starc jolts Sunrisers Hyderabad with three blows in the powerplay, sends Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Travis Head packing

Mitchell Starc first jolted Sunrisers Hyderabad with the wicket of Ishan Kishan, who scored just 2 runs and then followed it up with the scalp of Nitish Kumar Reddy, who managed a two-ball duck. He broke the backbone of the opposition after being removed from Travis Head.

Travis Head was going great guns as he kept attacking Delhi Capitals bowlers even though wickets kept falling at the other end. But, Mitchell Starc had better off him as he sent his Australia National Cricket Team mate packing for 22 runs off 12 balls.

The onus now will be on Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma to take Sunrisers Hyderabad to the fighting total. Both the batters have started well in their innings and would be keen to cash on the starts that they had.
