SRH SENT A MESSAGE. AMERICAS FANS ALREADY KNOW THIS PLAYER.

Travis Head didn’t wait for KKR to settle. 82 runs in the powerplay at Eden Gardens with Abhishek Sharma — before KKR had time to think, the game was over. Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 226/8 and then made sure KKR never got close. 161 all out. A 65-run demolition.

Americas cricket fans have seen this before. Head brought the same brand of calculated destruction to Major League Cricket. What you’re watching at Eden Gardens this morning is what’s coming to American soil this summer — June 18, 75 days away.

Haris Rauf and Brydon Carse did the rest with the ball. But this was Head’s match from the first powerplay over.

Finally, cricket.
