The Australian southpaw carved his name into IPL history by smashing the fourth-fastest hundred in the tournament’s existence.
Head, opening the batting for SRH, went berserk from the very first ball. He reached a phenomenal century in just 39 deliveries, a knock laced with pure power and precision. His blazing innings included a staggering nine boundaries and eight towering sixes, leaving the RCB bowlers helpless.
Head’s strokeplay was a masterclass in aggression. He displayed exceptional timing and placement, effortlessly dispatching the ball to all corners of the ground. This ruthless display not only propelled SRH to a dominant position in the match but also served as a reminder of his exceptional batting prowess.
