Ahmedabad. Sunrisers Hyderabad, famous for its explosive batting in this season of the Indian Premier League, had to face defeat from Kolkata Knight Riders in the qualifiers. Team assistant coach Simon Helmot said that despite the playoff defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders, his team will continue to play aggressive cricket.
KKR defeated Sunrisers by eight wickets in the first qualifier and entered the final for the fourth time. “Despite this, we will continue to play aggressive cricket,” Helmot told the media on Tuesday. “It was not our day.” This happens in sports. We will forget this defeat and perform well against RCB or Rajasthan in Chennai.
This season, Hyderabad's opening pair has wreaked havoc. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have laid the foundation of the team's big score by giving a stormy start. The team has created a sensation by scoring the highest score in the history of the tournament against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Sunrisers have to play the winner of the eliminator between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier in Chennai. The main reason for Sunrisers' defeat was the early dismissal of Travis Head. Australia's Mitchell Starc did not let Head even open his account and he got out on zero for the second consecutive time.
However, Helmot said he is ready for the second qualifier. “They are both great warriors,” he said. Travis Head wants to score fast runs while Starc is an aggressive bowler. Only one of the two can win. Travis has been dominating the bowlers this season and we want him to continue playing like this.
