Head in front, Reddy behind

After the first time-out, SRH seemed to have decided that the pitch had improved. There was a noticeable change in intent. Yuzvendra Chahal was at the receiving end as Head pulled and drove him for sixes. He went from 27 off 27 to his fifty in 37 balls. Nitish Kumar Reddy followed suit, turning his 5 off 10 into a 30-ball fifty. He too was ruthless against Chahal, resulting in the second-worst IPL figures for a spinner and Chahal's second-worst figures in all of T20 cricket: 4-0-62-0.
