More often than not, whenever openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head fire, Sunrisers Hyderabad win. And, when they flop, SRH fail too.

Head coach Daniel Vettori agreed with this on Wednesday ahead of their clash with Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. “Their opening partnership has been critical to our success and the two games that we’ve won so far, they’ve been big contributors,” said Vettori at the match-eve press conference.
