Travis Head has surpassed even his own remarkable brilliance in the 2024 edition of the IPL, blasting a match-winning knock which proved the perfect birthday gift for his captain Pat Cummins.
The Australian lefthander, who's taking daredevil opening to new heights in this year's biggest IPL slugfest yet, smashed an "unreal" 89 not out off just 30 balls, with eight sixes and eight fours, to help bludgeon Sunrisers Hyderabad to a lightning-quick win on Cummins' 31st birthday.
With his young Indian teammate Abhishek Sharma teeing off just as manically at the other end, with 75no off 28 balls, the pair's astonishing pyrotechnics ensured Sunrisers chased down Lucknow Super Giants' 4-165 before even the halfway mark of their dizzying innings.
