• Team depends on Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma
  
• Apart from Head, other batsmen have performed poorly.
  

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has said that Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have given a bullet train start to the team and they will be the focus of attention in the match against Lucknow on Wednesday. After a poor performance by their batsmen, Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to strengthen their claim for the playoffs with a win against Lucknow Supergiants. Apart from Head, other batsmen have performed poorly recently, due to which the team has had to face defeat in many matches.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is fourth in the points table with 12 points from 11 matches. On the other hand, if the team wins against Lucknow, then Chennai will overtake Super Kings and come to third place. Aakash Chopra has said that the focus of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants in the match will be on Head and Abhishek.

The team is in charge of the opener

Aakash Chopra said, “If this team has to win, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have to play long and explosively because they do two things, they score runs and they put pressure on the opposing team mentally.

He said, “Travis Head needs to be talked about because he is in such form. We have seen this play out many times in different ways. In the last match against Rajasthan at home, he played with some caution as per the pitch. Travis Head will keep an eye on him as you can expect runs from him. Another player I am picking is Abhishek Sharma.

Reliance on Pat Cummins' captaincy

Head has scored 444 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 189.74. Abhishek has scored 326 runs in 11 matches at an excellent strike rate of 195.21. Chopra chose Pat Cummins as the third man against Lucknow. He said, “Third, I am going with Pat Cummins. He is captaining well now, batting well and bowling in the right areas. When he was chosen captain I wondered what he was doing because he was spending a lot of money and his IPL stats were not good.
