Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener Abhishek Sharma hit a six at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, breaking the windscreen of the sponsored automobile.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, a veteran pacer, bowled the second over of the first innings and was smashed for a six on the fifth delivery by SRH’s opener. The experienced pacer threw a short ball just outside off, which the left-hander read early and smashed over deep midwicket for a maximum. The ball hit directly on the windscreen of the sponsored automobile, shattering it and eliciting loud cheers from the spectators.
As kids, breaking mirrors meant getting scolded… 😉😌
But when Abhishek does it with a six? He gets a standing ovation!
Oh, how times change! 😜👏💥

Notably, the match was shifted from the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium due to persistent rain in the Karnataka capital. RCB’s previous fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the venue was washed out without toss.
Meanwhile, Jitesh Sharma stepped in as RCB captain after Rajat Patidar was moved to the Impact Player role due to a finger injury. RCB also brought in Mayank Agarwal in place of the injured Devdutt Padikkal. On the other hand, SRH brought in Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar, and Jaydev Unadkat into the playing XI.
