IPL 2024: Opening combination of each team
Prior to the marquee T20 competition, let us have a glance at the opening pairs of all sides.
6. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)- Travis Head and Mayank Agarwal
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) failed to play quality cricket in the 2023 IPL and concluded the competition at the bottom of the points table with only four wins and 10 losses. Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma were given the responsibility of opening innings for the team but both failed to justify their roles.
They also benched Abhishek and tried Harry Brook in the slot but he also struggled to give solid starts to the side. Despite noting the dismal batting numbers of Agarwal and Abhishek, SRH did not part ways with them. Both players will feature in SRH’s 2024 campaign. Meanwhile, Hyderabad fetched Australia’s Travis Head for INR 6.80 crore in the 2024 auction,
In the upcoming season, Head might be seen with Agarwal as an opener. The Aussie southpaw has looked extraordinary with his bat in white-ball cricket recently. His endeavours will be to showcase his batting mettle in the cash-rich league and become a crucial asset for Sunrisers. Agarwal has also been in decent form as he exuded confidence with some fine knocks for Karnataka in the 2023-24 Vijay Hazare Trophy.
