Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head provided Sunrisers Hyderabad an aggressive start against Punjab Kings in the IPL 2026 encounter  in Chandigarh. The two left-handed batters put 105/0 in just 6 overs. While Abhishek was unbeaten at 66 off 22, Head was at 31 off 15 when the Powerplay overs ended. The Sunrisers Hyderabad haven’t been in greatest of forms in this edition of the IPL 2026 and have just won one match in three games. Abhishek had scores of 0, 48 and 7 before this. 

The hosts got some breather after the break as Shashank Singh surprisingly removed both the players in a span of just three deliveries. He first got rid of Head when the score was 120. 

PBKS vs SRH, IPL 2026: What the Captains Said?

“We’re going to bowl first. It’s a day game and obviously want to get a knack of how the wicket is going to play and a fair idea. But other than that, that’s what we’ve been doing in the last couple of games. We’ve been thriving on that,” Shreyas Iyer said at the toss.

Ishan Kishan talked about leading the side. “It’s a big disadvantage for any team, Pat is a tremendous bowler. He gets on with an experience of his. But still, I feel we’ve got a young side, young bowlers today in the team. And hopefully, we’ll just try and execute the plans, which is the most important thing in T20 cricket. Yeah, there are two changes.”
