IPL 2024: Tilak’s Efforts Go In Vain As SRH Beat MI By 31 Runs In Six-hitting Run Fest
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Local lad Tilak Varma made a stunning 64 off 34 balls, but his efforts went in vain as Sunrisers Hyderabad emerged triumphant in a stunning six-hitting run fest with a 31-run win over Mumbai Indians to open their account in IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday.
After sizzling half-centuries from Heinrich Klassen, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head helped SRH amass an astonishing 277/3, the highest-ever score in the competition’s history, MI looked to get the chase done thanks to heroics of Tilak and other batters.
But SRH’s bowlers shined by giving no pace and keeping the scoring rate in check in the middle overs to keep MI to 246/5. With this being MI’s second defeat in a game where many records tumbled in front of 35,080 fans, questions will be asked of their listless bowling and changes made in the line-up, as well as of captain Hardik Pandya’s performance and decision making.
