SunRisers Hyderabad's impressive performance in the ongoing IPL 2024 has sparked immense excitement among fans, leading to a viral video of over-enthusiastic supporters mobbing team stars Heinrich Klaasen and Jaydev Unadkat. The incident has raised concerns about crowd management and safety precautions.
SRH's resurgence this season has been remarkable, with the team currently sitting fourth in the points table. Their aggressive batting lineup, featuring Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Klaasen, has shattered records, including the highest total in IPL history.
However, the viral video has cast a shadow over the team's success. It shows Klaasen and Unadkat being pushed and harassed by fans, prompting criticism of the SRH management for allowing such a large crowd without adequate security measures.
Meanwhile, former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has heaped praise on young Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has emerged as a standout performer for SRH. Watson hailed Reddy's dominance over experienced spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin in the team's recent victory over Rajasthan Royals.
Reddy's blistering 76* off 42 balls, including eight sixes, played a crucial role in SRH's one-run win. Watson described Reddy as a "special talent" and one of his favorite players to watch, highlighting his exceptional skill and ability to perform under pressure.
Watson also acknowledged the IPL's role in showcasing young Indian cricketers with exceptional abilities. He believes that Reddy is one of many talented players who have emerged through the league, contributing to the abundance of talent in Indian cricket.
