Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori praised his pace trio of Eshan Malinga, Pat Cummins, and Sakib Hussain for turning around the team’s season. After a shaky start, SRH came close to finishing in the top two, but ultimately fell short despite a win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Vettori credited the contributions of other players like Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Praful Hinge for the team’s resurgence.
The coach highlighted the exceptional performance of the bowlers, which allowed the team to bounce back from early losses and win eight out of the next ten games. He emphasized the importance of the bowlers complementing the batting unit for the team’s success. SRH posted a massive total of 255 for four in their victory over RCB, with Coach Andy Flower noting the absence of Tim David and Jacob Bethell impacting RCB’s fielding.
The team’s strategy involved taking on RCB’s primary bowlers, including former fan-favorite Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was targeted and conceded 51 runs in his four-over spell. Vettori explained that the lack of swing in Hyderabad played a role in neutralizing Kumar’s effectiveness. He acknowledged Kumar’s exceptional bowling but stated that to have a chance of winning, they had to take him on, which proved successful in this match.
Overall, Vettori credited the team’s unity and strong performances for their turnaround in the season. The victory over RCB showcased their dominance and ability to adapt to different conditions. The coach expressed confidence in the team’s ability to continue performing at a high level in the future.
