Hydroboration reaction

In an experiment that is performed you use 1-hexene and is reacted with H2SO4 with water as the solvent.  The product formed is 2-hexanol, is this an example of 1,4 addition, or proceeds via a carbanion, or is an example of electrophillic addition, or results in sp2 hybridized carbon being transformed into a sp hybridized carbon?
