What did Pat Cummins say after SRH’s defeat?
After losing the match against Gujarat, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said that we did not use the power play properly while batting. We gave 20-30 additional runs in bowling and left some important catches in fielding, due to which we lagged behind in the match.
In the match presentation, Pat Cummins said, ‘In bowling, we gave a lot of runs in the powerplay. We also threw some bad balls and left some catches which we had to bear the brunt. It was a good wicket and in the end our bowlers stopped him on the score from where our batsmen could make matches. Here (Ahmedabad) atmosphere is very good and playing here is always enjoyable. We have to live up to our expectations and the same players will remain in the team for the next three years, so we have to play a lot of cricket together in future.
