Constant pressure increased from boundaries

Abhishek Sharma’s confidence increased further after the very first six. On the second ball, he played intelligently and maintained the pressure, while on the third ball, he hit another six with a powerful pull shot. Due to continuous big shots, the pressure on the bowler became clearly visible. Varun made a length mistake on the fourth ball, taking advantage of which Abhishek hit a brilliant four over cover.

Varun Chakraborty lost his rhythm due to continuous attacks. He bowled the next ball wide, which gave Hyderabad an extra run. Even after this, Abhishek took full advantage of the opportunity and played excellent shots in the off side on the last two balls and hit two consecutive fours. In this way, in a single over, he spoiled the entire rhythm of the bowler.
