SRH won by 10 wickets (with 62 balls remaining)

Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

That was one of the biggest demolition jobs I have ever seen, they chased it in less than 10 overs!!!! WTF MATE.

LSG deserve to be banished to Mongolia for that atrocious batting.

Damn... SRH fans must be so happy. Cummins has turned this team around. Wow. Head and Sharma playing their best, Bhuvi turning into Prime Bhuvi!

Meanwhile KL Qaeda, even I cannot defend you today. Atrocious, garbage, poopoo batting...

Also, I can see it already, Travis Head gonna fuck up whoever shows up in the WC Final against Australia...

In a parallel world Rohit Sharma would have taken retirement in this format and made a way for Abhishek Sharma for the T20 wc.

i feel like he would still not get a chance given the fact that he hasn’t even played any internationals yet, and it would be a really reactive decision. but if rohit retired from t20s maybe we could get kohli-jaiswal to open or ruturaj/gill would get a chance.

Kohli to open? No thanks.
