 Sending our attention now to Cricket match number 8 of the 2024 Indian Premier League saw the sun risers Hyderabad creating history as they registered 277 for 3, the highest team total in the 16-year history of the IPL to help them beat the Mumbai Indians by runs early on Wednesday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, the sun risers Hyderabad batters took a liking to the Mumbai bowlers. Travis Head struck an 18-ball half-century, the fastest of four sun risers in the IPL, only for moments later Abhishek Sharma to blast a 16-ball 50 to snatch the record. Well, now is the top scorer for sun risers. That honor went to Henrik Klassen who ended unbeaten on 80 as he added the finishing touches to the sun risers' record-breaking total. Well, despite the daunting total, the Mumbai Indians were positive in their reply, reaching 50 without loss at the end of the third over. But wickets that regular interval hampered their chase. Selag Varma top scored for them with 64 as they lost steam to end on 246 for 5 from their allotted 20 overs. But speaking after the match, winning captain Pat Cummins revealed he was never worried that the Mumbai Indians would have reached their target. Travis Head do well, we've seen Klassen do well for a while now, what about Abhishek? When you score as many runs as that, you could almost start to think the game is over. How did the bowling plans develop as you went along? What a match lands, never were more runs scored in a men's T20 match, 523 in total and never were more 6s hit in a men's T20, 38 in total. No but lands, it's like Travis Head started, you felt as if alright, Travis Head is going to do the job, then Abhishek comes in, then there's a lot more 6s but then as I said it's in the opening, then Henry Klassen, I've seen him light up the CPL live but lands, that IPL knock today was brilliant and then he comes to do the interview and he's so calm like he didn't just get 80 not out and light up the entire stadium. Well one of the significant things about that is that he had 80 not out of 34 balls and he was not man of a match, so that tells you what kind of match it was, 38 6s in one match and Chris Gale isn't playing. No but they were actually talking about that, they were actually talking about that because you know Chris Gale is an entertainer when he comes to the crease but today this match was just a perfect show of what the IPL is capable of and then Mumbai Indians come in and to be honest at some point I felt as if maybe this chase might be possible, I know it would be ridiculous of me to think that's possible but just the way they approached the innings and they started it's so unfortunate Dolan that Mumbai Indians who has been a team that I have a lot of time for now with their new captain joining Haridic Pandya and all that they haven't won a match two out of of the two matches they've lost both yeah well still early in the tournament so you don't want to write them off yet because there's still not too much cricket left to be played for them not to think that they can rebound but to the point that you just made about thinking you know that there was the possibility that Mumbai could chase you heard Pat comments in the post-match interview he pretty much said what you said that when the total was put on the board he was confident that they couldn't reach it but then when they started the ball things are going a bit haywire so um this is just fantastic IPL cricket is is top draw stuff I need to get a quick comment on you though Romarius Shepard he had 15 knots out today we have to keep mentioning always six balls yes but you know by then the game was was lost but good for him to get in in a game like this and feel that kind of atmosphere because based on the trajectory for the T20 World Cup coming up in June Romarius Shepard is considered by many of the fans in the Caribbean as one of the players that can impact a strong West Indus performance so good to see him going out there today and you know getting a feel and a taste of the excitement of what was a colossal game yeah and you um when Pat comments came on the screen very very um animated and excited about your Aussie he also had a good game today um with the ball he's Aussie he's Aussie okay but we are not Aussie um he got 2 for 35 it's expected that he'll have a good game because he's an Australian okay he had 2 for 35 today good stuff from him as well and good leader because when he took over the captaincy of the Australia team there were doubts about his ability to lead lead the team and even last year when there was some stuttering in the Australian performances I heard comments that people weren't sure that he was the right man for the job but he has shown that he has a good head on his shoulders and he's a very measured individual and I think he's doing good as the Australian captain and um he's a good leader in the IPL as well you say that and then instantly I just have to ask you about Hardik Pandya's captaincy because you see uh Pat is such a good leader Hardik comes into this new setup two out of two losses and yes it's early but you know how cricket fans are they're not forgiving you know of sports fans on the hola and Indian cricket fans impatient there's a lot of pressure on Pandya that's not there's no question about it and uh he will have to rise to the occasion because I think he has the tools to be a good captain for Mumbai but it hasn't started well for him and he has to you know display self-belief and and and keep going because I think he has the tools but there's a lot of pressure a lot of pressure so sometimes it takes a little time when you go into a new setup to get the feel of things and let's hope he's sort of set out well tomorrow Rajasthan Royals will be up against Delhi Capitals and remember Sportsmax as well as our Sportsmax cricket on the app we're keeping you in the loop with everything IPL so don't miss that let's take a quick break we'll be right back
