Abhishek Sharma’s bat-swing, Ishan Kishan’s daredevilry and Heinrich Klaasen’s brute muscularity allowed Sunrisers Hyderabad to maintain their home batting template of attack at all costs and post a mammoth 255 for 4 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in an IPL match here on Friday.

While Abhishek (56 off 22 balls) scored another 20-ball half-century and nullified Bhuvneshwar Kumar in his first spell, vice-captain Kishan found the gaps while displaying both precision and cheekiness to pummel his way to 79 off just 44 balls.
