We’re lucky he’s in our team: Abhishek Sharma on Travis Head
Talking about SRH's first batting effort and Travis Head's incredible effort, Abhishek Sharma said, "I think we were targeting more than that after the first 6 overs but really happy with the team. There was a message to assess the wicket today and I think Travis did really well in that today. It’s always a pleasure since day 1, I’ve been telling him that I’ve been a big fan of him from day 1.
"We’re lucky he’s in our team. There’s no pressure from the other end so I can just go out and express myself. (About being ready to bowl) I’m always ready, waiting to go out there."
