Travis Head praises Abhishek Sharma’s fearless approach against spin in crucial clash
Travis Head opened up about his spin playing and how Abhishek Sharma handles those better. The opening pair of Head and Abhishek has been a huge advantage for SRH since they have performed really well in the past. While talking about his opening partner, Head heaped praises on Abhishek and mentioned that he plays spin better.
"I know that if spin comes on, I just give him the strike. I probably have not played with a better spin-hitting batter ever. I think he is one of the best I have ever seen in terms of ball-striking against spin. I know in the Powerplay, we saw again in this game that teams have started to go off pace against us. So, it is about getting him on strike and watching him go about his work. He puts teams under immense pressure. It is a great partnership; we do not have to talk too much," he said.
