GREAT EFFORT

I am extremely delighted to see the performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad at this year’s IPL. They were at their best. The way they are batling in this IPL is incredible. They are unstoppable. They defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 25 runs in the Monday match. Bating first, they set the target of 287 for RCB. Travis Head was declared the player of the match. He made 102 runs, while he was supported by Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad. In reply RCB failed to chase the mammoth total and they were short of 25 runs at the end of the match. This is an incredible innings by Sunrisers. I also appreciate Pat Cummings for transforming Sunrisers completely. Cummings is leading his team from the front. He himself is bowling well and inspiring his team members to give their best. I am sure Sunrisers will grab top positions this year. On the other hand, RCB looked very ordinary this year. None of their players except Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik failed to get going. Many young players like Rajat Patidar and Mahipal Lomror failed time and again. RCB captain Faf du Plessis did something for his team but failed to get going. It is high time for the RCB to look into their team. I am sure they will learn from their performance and will come out beter. Sarfaraz Hashmi,
