The Hyderabad audience witnessed an extraordinary display of batting prowess from their team, with Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klassen delivering three exceptional half-centuries.
Overpowering the Mumbai opposition, the home side amassed an imposing 214/3 within a mere 16 overs. Amidst the outstanding performance by the Hyderabad team, an intriguing incident unfolded involving Rohit Sharma directing his skipper, Hardik Pandya, to take a position on the boundary line while arranging the field.
Interestingly, this action stirred memories of a recent controversy. Just two days prior, in a match against Gujarat Titans, Pandya had directed Sharma to field near the boundary, which resulted in widespread criticism on social media.
