In the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, GT got their first breakthrough in the opening over, thanks to Mohammed Siraj dismissing Travis Head for the 11th time in his career.
Siraj bowled a classic test-match length delivery on off-stump on the fourth ball of the over. The ball pitched on a good length and jagged back sharply into the left-hander.
Head attempted to close the face of his bat too early, trying to work the ball through the leg side across the line. Because of the inward movement, the ball closed on him, hitting the outer half of the blade and popping up as a looping leading edge
The ball sailed toward the third-man region, where Nishant Sindhu tracked it perfectly, settled under it, and took a comfortable catch.
