Abhishek Sharma, whose batting has been a major factor this season, inquired as to whether the CSK supporters may switch to SRH for one evening. Given that SRH is the team representing South India and Chennai is not in the finals, the left-hand batter’s case made a lot of sense.
To go to the final, KKR defeated SRH in the first qualifier after topping the IPL 2024 points table. The runner-up, SRH, faced the reigning champions, the Rajasthan Royals, in the second qualifying round and defeated them to advance to the championship match.
As the Sunrisers Hyderabad team prepares to play the title-favorite Kolkata Knight Riders tonight in Chepauk, opener Abhishek Sharma has asked the supporters in the capital of Tamil Nadu to support his team.
“I know in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have a massive fan following here. I would request all the CSK fans to come and support us in the final.” Abhishek Sharma said in an SRH video.
“I can be a better bowler than him”- Abhishek Sharma on Yuvraj Singh
Batsman for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), Abhishek Sharma, claims that former India all-rounder Yuvraj Sing thinks he might be a better bowler than themselves. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 second qualifier against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Friday, May 24, Sharma claimed two wickets.
“Whenever I had talks with Yuvi Paaji about my bowling, he used to say that I can be a better bowler than him, so that thing I had in my mind and he will be really happy with my performance,” Abhishek said in a video posted by IPL.
For SRH, the batsman has had a standout season, amassing 482 runs at a massive strike rate of 207.85 in 16 games. With a 36-run victory over the Royals, SRH secured their spot in the IPL 2024 final.
They will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. In 2016 and 2018, SRH made two appearances in the IPL final, winning the first one before falling to CSK in the latter year.
