IPL 2026: IPL 2026 is starting from 28th March. The preparations of all the franchise teams for the tournament are almost finished. Whereas in the last few seasons, if there has been maximum discussion about the batting line-up of any team, then it is the team of Sunrisers Hyderabad. The opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head increases the tension of the opposing team. Whereas in the middle order, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen make the team even more dangerous. Now Sunrisers Hyderabad has got another explosive batsman, who has created a sensation by hitting 5 sixes in 5 balls before the start of IPL 2026.

SRH’s young player hit 5 sixes in 5 consecutive balls
