Travis Head has helped condemn the ashes to the rival Jofra Archer on a record day of bowling misery while beginning his IPL season with a dazzling half a century for the Sunrisers Hyderabad of Pat Cummins.
The Australian left-handed continued where he left him in the excellent 2024 Hyderabad campaign, since his huge 67 of 31 balls launched the local team to the second highest total in the history of IPL, a huge 6-286, on his way to a opening victory of 44 races against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.
The main victim of the head of Head’s chaos, while running 50 of 21 balls, was England Quick Archer, who was destroyed by his Australian rival for 23 of his first time, including the six humonous who measured 105 meters that rose in the crowd beyond the deepest half.
That was just the beginning of Archer’s terrible experience.
Even after the head left, Isehan Kishan continued the uproar, scoring a century of only 45 balls with Archer on his menu also, since the Indian international hit him for three six in a new one.
At the end of his four overs, during which he had exhausted himself so exhausted that he was even warned by delivering a head Beamer, Archer could only contemplate with 4-0-76-0 figures, the worst analysis in the history of the League.

One of the most feared pacemaker was gone for four six and 10 four, since Hyderabad was lost in eclipssing his IPL 3-287 record against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru last year, with Kishan finishing 106 not out of 47.
Surely there was no way that visitors could approach that total, but nothing is safe in the middle of the IPL and Rajasthan execution festivals gave him a chance as good as they accumulated 6-242 that Hyderabad Cummins captain had to admit: “It’s scary …”
Australia’s own patron found that his bowling alley received the treatment, since he recorded miserable figures of 0-60 of his four overs, after being beaten by five six and four of his assignment.
And his Australian partner Adam Zampa, used as an impact submarine to replace the head, was also pushed, going for 48 races of his four, but at least he responded with the key scalp of DHRUV Jurel, playing playing the best score goalkeeper who had threatened with six six in his 70 banks of 35 banks.
It was the perfect beginning for Cummins, who had taken Sunrisers to the final of last year and, now strengthened by the new Kishan signing, has realistic hopes of going better in 2025.
“It’s amazing,” Cummins said.
“We have 280 -odd, and it’s scary, you still know that you are going to run and it will be difficult. When you have such a large score, one can win it for your side. Isehan today was incredible to us.”
In the night match, the Australian bowling player Nathan Ellis had a winning debut for Chennai Super Kings, since the local team defeated the Mumbai Indians by four WICKETS with five remaining balls.
Ellis took 1-38 in his four overs, helping to keep Mumbai up to a 9-155 Underramp before the New Zealand Rachin Ravindra guided Chennai home in an uncomfortable persecution with an undefeated 65 of 45 balls.
