He seemingly signaled a "no."
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) Abhishek Sharma was dismissed in a silly fashion during their 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
Delhi Capitals pacer Mitchell Starc was bowling to fellow Australian Travis Head in the first over of the match. It was a yorker wide of off stump. Head looked to go big with the cover drive but got a thick inside edge and began running. Abhishek seemingly signaled a “no” to Head, who ended up ball-watching.
Abhishek was also a little late in setting up for the run and eventually fell short at the keeper’s end, where he was run out by Vipraj Nigam.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad were off to a shaky start in their IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals. Travis Head hit two consecutive boundaries off Mitchell Starc in the first over before Abhishek Sharma was run out.
Head seemed to gain some momentum with boundaries, but the opener was caught by KL Rahul off Starc in the fifth over. It was a short length ball from Starc, and Head was looking to clear past the short third man fence. However, he failed to do so as he was caught by Rahul, who was playing his first match for DC. Head scored 22 runs off 12 balls, hitting four boundaries in the process.
