But for Aaron, the knock was less a surprise and more a reflection of a long-trusted process.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cI think he&#8217;s always had that maturity and that&#8217;s been there over the last couple of years. You can&#8217;t be the number one T20 batsman in the world without being mature. <!-- -->Obviously, he&#8217;s somebody who sees the opposition, sees the surface and decides to play a certain way,\u201d Aaron said after the match.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u2018You have to give him that leeway\u2019<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Aaron stressed that Abhishek\u2019s high-risk, high-reward style naturally brings fluctuations, and backing such players through failures is crucial.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>\u201cToday, it wasn&#8217;t the surface where you could just go hell for leather every single ball. So you have to respect the opponent, you have to respect the surface and he did exactly that,\u201d he explained.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>\u201cAnd I think he&#8217;s shown glimpses of this in the past but obviously when you play a high risk, high reward kind of a game, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t work out and you have to give a player like Abhishek that leeway.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The innings marked a continuation of Abhishek\u2019s resurgence after an inconsistent start earlier in the year, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most dangerous T20 batters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Bowlers back up the big total<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>While Abhishek headlined the win, SRH\u2019s bowlers ensured the result was never in doubt. <!-- -->Eshan Malinga led the charge with a decisive four-wicket haul, while young pacer Sakib Hussain impressed with his variations.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>\u201cThey&#8217;ve got skills that set them apart\u2026 Malinga gets the ball to reverse, even from the 11th or 12th over, which gets tough for the opponent. He can execute yorkers, has a brilliant slower ball and can bowl 140-plus,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cWith Sakib, that slower ball is just brilliant\u2026 same arm speed, executes his yorkers, can bowl 140-plus as well.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Aaron revealed that SRH\u2019s strategy this season has been to build a bowling unit capable of adapting across conditions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/have-to-give-abhishek-sharma-leeway-srhs-varun-aaron-explains-why\/articleshow\/130436686.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad&#8217;s Abhishek Sharma walks back to pavilion.
