Krunal Pandya took three wickets and scored 34 runs for Lucknow Supergiants. At the same time, Amit Mishra took two wickets, and Yash Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi took one wicket each. Captain Rahul scored the highest 35 runs with the bat. For Hyderabad, Adil Rashid took two wickets and Bhuvneshwar, Fazalhaq Farooqui, and Umran Malik took one wicket each.
Nothing went in favor of Hyderabad in this match. Last season also this team could not reach the playoffs. After this everything changed from the captain of this team to the key players. It was expected that this team would do well this season, but so far Sunrisers Hyderabad has come out as the worst team in the tournament.
The first match did not feature many key players including Hyderabad skipper Aiden Markram. In such a situation, the defeat of the team was linked to the absence of the captain, but in this match, the captain could not do anything special except play a ball and join the toss.
Again failed batsman
The Hyderabad batsmen failed in the match against Rajasthan as well. Then it was believed that a score of more than 200 runs was under pressure. Because of this, the batsmen got out by playing the wrong shot. However, the team remained in the same condition even while batting first in this match. All the leading batsmen got out one by one. Even when Rahul Tripathi scored runs, his strike rate was only 85. At the same time, Washington Sundar also scored at a strike rate of 57. Five batsmen of the team could not touch the double figure.
