Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Suresh Raina have scored the highest runs in the first 10 overs of IPL matches.
What we witnessed yesterday at the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium was complete destruction from Sunrisers Hyderabad’s powerful openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. This season, both have been exceptional with their power strokes and hitting ability. However, their knock against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is one of the best innings in the history of IPL, reminiscent of the greatest knock played in IPL by IPL legend Suresh Raina.
SRH batters claimed a dominating victory against LSG by 10 wickets in just 9.4 overs, both batters destroyed the opponent with Abhishek’s 75* off 28 balls and Head’s 89* off 30. However, netizens believe that Raina’s knock of 24 balls 87 is still the best in IPL history.
Suresh Raina 87 of 25 scorecard
It was IPL 2014, and the match was a Qualifier 2. Kings XI Punjab (Now Punjab Kings) gave a mammoth target of 226/6. Chennai Super Kings struggled with their early breakthroughs. Then, Raina steered the innings with his fighting and fiery innings. Raina’s dismissal was unlucky as he got run out and with his wicket, CSK also lost the game.
The SRH duo and Suresh Raina innings have one thing in common, these innings came within 10 overs of the game. Raina’s knock is considered to be the superior of them all, because of the match situation and better strike rate.
