Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Brian Lara responds to Lucknow’s win. Lara thought losing three wickets in a short time against Lucknow was irreversible. He stated they could not recover from that blow. He suggested Hyderabad’s batting must improve in future matches. Sunrisers were 50/1 after eight overs at Bharat Ratna Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow, but they lost three wickets quickly and were 55/4. They scored 121 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs.
Sunrisers fell to Lucknow by five wickets in their IPL opener after losing to Rajasthan by 72 runs.
“We lose wickets too quickly. First over, we lost two wickets. Lucknow took three wickets in seven deliveries. The game changed. We need to address our hitting issues “Lara said.
Captain Aydin Markram and Harry Brook entered the pavilion following Anmolpreet’s dismissal. Laura claimed it hit hard. The head coach claimed the Lucknow pitch is unsuitable for stroke play. Their batters must improve.
Lara thinks he would have won if he had scored 150-160 runs on this pitch. They knew the pitch would turn. He assumed the snow wouldn’t affect the second half. Thus, they batted first. They lost three wickets in seven balls and scored little.
Lara stated their batters must perform in the following matches. Lucknow spinners excelled.
Lara commended Lucknow spinners for using the circumstances to bowl better. He wants the squad to own the loss and improve for the next encounter. Laura stated the ball twirled. Lucknow spinners bowled well. Slow and cutter-throwing fast bowlers. Batters struggled against them.
