As Sunrisers Hyderabad dominate Delhi Capitals, Harsha Bhogle calls for military intervention

Abhishek Sharma achieved a strike rate of above 300, while Travis Head’s strike rate was above 250 in the Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match in IPL 2024. Harsha Bhogle has called for the deployment of the Indian Army and Delhi Police to assist in the rescue of DC.

The openers of Hyderabad added 125 runs in the powerplay overs, with the ball regularly travelling to the stands. Delhi captain Rishabh Pant appeared to lack inspiration before Axar Patel made a remarkable catch of Abhishek. Kuldeep Yadav prompted him to attempt a lofted drive, which Axar completed. The young opener accumulated 46 runs off 12 balls, aided by six sixes and two fours.

Kuldeep overcame Aiden Markram, who contributed one run. Yadav's third victim was Head, who scored 89 runs off 32 deliveries. He hit 11 fours and 6 sixes. Klaasen, who hit two sixes, was clean bowled by Axar.

Meanwhile, Harsha expressed his sympathy for the hosts:

“Call the police! Call the armoured corps! Call the army! @DelhiCapitals need some help here.”

At the outset of the game, Rishabh won the toss and invited the Sunrisers to bat first. This proved to be the only advantage he would enjoy throughout the match.
