"Abhishek will drive the motorcycle and will tell Travis Head to sit behind" - Basit Ali predicts a big season for India and SRH opener in IPL 2025
Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali recently applauded Abhishek Sharma for his batting heroics in T20I cricket following his stellar performances against England. He predicted that Abhishek might perform better than Travis Head while opening the batting for the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2025 by using a Sholay reference.
Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Ali stated:
"In the last IPL, Travis Head scored a lot of runs. Abhishek Sharma also supported him. It was like how in Sholay, the great Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra sat together on a motorcycle. Dharmendra sahab was driving the motorcycle. Now, Abhishek will drive the motorcycle and will tell Travis Head to take a back seat."
He added:
"Abhishek did not forget his elders. The way he spoke about Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav, are the things which take players upwards. These kids have given a lot of respect to cricket, and that is why God is making them do well."
