Yuvraj Singh is the mentor of Abhishek Sharma, who is dealing in fours and sixes in the Indian Premier League 2024. The southpaw is winning matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad and his partnership with Travis Head has added more firepower to the batting unit of the franchise.
In the game against Lucknow Super Giants, the two attacking openers went berserk and added 167 runs in 9.4 overs to win the game for their Orange Army. The 10-wicket victory was one of the biggest in the 17th season, and the pace at which it came, stunned everyone. KL Rahul, the captain of Lucknow Super Giants, was left speechless and ran out of words to laud the two left-handers.
SRH have recorded 14 points from 12 games and need to win the remaining two to play in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Yuvi, who has was not pleased with Abhishek in the previous games for throwing away his wicket, finally lauded the young batter and made a bold prediction about his future.
“Well played @IamAbhiSharma4 be consistent be patient ! Your time is around the corner ,” he wrote on X.
Yuvraj also heaped massive praise on Travis Head. “@travishead34 what planet are you batting my friend ? Unreal,” he further wrote.
Head scored 89 not out off 30, including 8 fours and 8 sixes. Abhishek amassed an unbeaten 75 off 28, paced with 8 fours and 6 sixes.
