Delhi: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), chasing the target of 206 runs, sent Atharva Tayade and Abhishek Sharma on the opening. However, this new pair could not give the team a strong start. Atharva Tayade was caught by Will O’Rurek on Deep Third Man. After this, Ishaan Kishan came to the crease and he adopted an aggressive attitude and scored fast in the powerplay.
Abhishek and Digvesh clashed on the middle ground
A big controversy was also seen during the match when there was a debate between Abhishek Sharma and Lucknow bowler Digvesh Rathi. The matter increased so much that abuses between the two players were also called. The quarrel started with the aggressive celebration of Digvesh Rathi, on which he had already been fined.
Umpire and captain Pant had to intervene
In order to calm this controversy, along with on-field umpires, Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant also had to intervene. The game stopped for some time and the atmosphere became quite tense. Although the matter somehow resolved and the game started again, but the controversy changed both the attitude and atmosphere of the match.
