Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma’s clean sheet did not end in IPL either. The world’s best batsman in T20 cricket was dismissed for zero runs in three consecutive matches in T20 World Cup. In the IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad made their debut without scoring any runs at their home ground on Monday. Travishek’s pairing, which is said to be one of the most feared in the tournament, failed.

Still Sunrisers Hyderabad on the hill of runs in Nizam’s city. Rajasthan Royals captain Ryan Parag sent Hyderabad to bat first after winning the toss. Overcoming the initial shock, Hyderabad scored big runs on the scoreboard. They made 216/6 in 20 overs. Behind the scenes, skipper Ishan Kishan’s devastating innings.

Batting at number three, the Jharkhand cricketer played a blistering innings of 91 runs off 44 balls. Ishan is also leading Hyderabad as Pat Cummins is out of the squad due to injury. Devastated batting under pressure. Ishan’s innings arranged in 8 fours and 6 sixes. At one time, it seemed that the century was tied. Ishan missed that chance for just 9 runs.

Heinrich Klaasen also batted aggressively. The South African cricketer scored 40 runs off 26 balls. Nitish Kumar Reddy was dismissed for 28 off 13 balls. Salil Arora was unbeaten on 24 runs off 13 balls.

The match started like Rajasthan Royals. English fast bowler Jofra Archer picked up Abhishek on the first ball after coming to bowl with the new ball. Archer is number two on a rare list. Mohammed Shami took the most wickets in the first ball in the history of IPL. Shami got a wicket with the first ball five times. Archer has achieved this feat four times. In all, Rajasthan Royals took the opponent’s wicket 24 times before any runs were on the board. No other team has that precedent in IPL. Second in this list is Mumbai Indians (22 times). Rajasthan picked up 12 wickets on the first ball of the innings. That too IPLrecord in
