IPL 2023: After suffering a devastating loss to a ruthless Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday, May 13, in the first of two games, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s dismal home record in IPL 2023 was extended. Brian Lara, the Orange Army’s head coach, bemoaned his team’s defeat, believing that their standing on the points chart could have been far higher.
Seven of their first 11 games have ended in losses for Aiden Markram’s team, who now faces another unsuccessful IPL season. However, they only have themselves to blame after they missed a couple of good opportunities in their prior games. Similar to the encounter against LSG, the home team controlled the action for most of the match.
To secure a spectacular victory, Krunal Pandya’s team increased the intensity in the last overs. After SRH’s defeat, its head coach and legendary batsman Brian Lara bemoaned their inability to finish games, which cost them important points before their match against Lucknow. Despite the Hyderabad-based team’s current ninth-place standing following that defeat, Lara is still optimistic about entering the playoff.
“In this circumstance, we ought to be seated quite high up on this table. We’ve played some games that were tight and games where we were ahead going into the closing minutes. We also didn’t block it off. We may have done well in this competition, but that isn’t the case right now, it’s fair to say. After the loss against LSG,” Lara commented, “We’ve got three games left, and we’ve got to get the boys motivated to produce results in these three games.”
At one point, Lara had to bowl one over of spin.
The former cricketer also discussed the much-discussed 16th over by Abhishek Sharma, which resulted in 31 runs and altered the course of the game in just six deliveries. Because he believed the team required a spinner to bowl that over, Lara supported his captain’s choice.
“In retrospect, I think you can say that. It was obviously unsuccessful for us. We had one over of spin to bowl at that point. We constantly believe in the effectiveness of our quick bowlers. Therefore, we were aware that the one over would be assaulted. Unfortunately, they had chances to score on all six or seven balls,” he said.
