Expert Analysis
- Against Deepak Chahar, Abhishek starts aggressively but is also vulnerable. With a strike rate of 137.50 but two dismissals in just 32 balls, MI might use Chahar early to target him.
- At Hyderabad, Abhishek enjoys the bounce and pace but hasn’t delivered consistently. However, his recent form and fearless approach can make him dangerous on any given day.
- He will be key to giving SRH a good start in the powerplay, especially on a pitch where 230+ totals are common.
Abhishek Sharma’s battle against Deepak Chahar could set the tone for SRH’s innings. If he can survive the early swing, he has the ability to dominate on the fast-paced Hyderabad track. But if MI uses Chahar smartly, this matchup could once again swing in Mumbai’s favor.
