Chasing a daunting 244 at the Wankhede Stadium, SRH produced one of the most dominant batting performances of the season, with their top order setting the tone early and the middle order ensuring there were no stumbles along the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYou have to give full credit to the batters. We know that teams like Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are capable of chasing such totals, and they showed that again. They came out with clear intent in the Powerplay and, importantly, didn\u2019t lose a wicket. They even put pressure on Jasprit Bumrah early, taking nearly 30 runs off his first two overs. After that, the rest of the batters contributed well. At no stage did the required rate get out of control. In fact, it stayed below the asking rate for most of the innings. That was the real beauty of this chase,\u201d Chawla told JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The foundation of the chase was laid by the openers, with Travis Head playing a key role through a brisk half-century that put Mumbai\u2019s bowlers under immediate pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cSometimes you need a bit of luck when you\u2019re not among the runs, and that\u2019s exactly what happened with him. There was a faint edge that didn\u2019t result in an appeal. Moments like these can change an innings. I\u2019ve noticed that whenever he plays against India or against Mumbai Indians, he seems to bat with a different level of confidence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
