IPL 2025, Match 15th, KKR vs SRH: Captains’ Corner
Not a great night tonight. In the mid-innings break, we thought it was gettable. It was a pretty good wicket. Gave away few too many in the field and obviously fell short (with the bat). You have to be realistic – three games in a row, it has not come off for us. Less than two weeks ago, we put on 280. Our batters are at our best taking it on, but you have to think about if you could take different options. Probably more (disappointed) with our fielding – a couple of catches, and a few misfields that we have to tidy up. Overall bowling was not bad, they batted well towards the end. We only bowled three overs of spin – did not think there was a lot of spin. Cutters were gripping (for the pacers), so went down that path.
Pat Cummins(SRH captain) said post-match
This game was really important for us, and winning with margin – that was really crucial. Batting first, losing the toss, we wanted to bowl first on this wicket. When we lost two wickets, the discussion was about consolidating and then when we have wickets in hand after 11-12 overs, guys lower down the order can score as many runs as possible. We learnt a lot from the mistakes. It is about staying in the moment now. Great example for us (as a batting group) to learn from this game. When Rinku and Venkatesh were batting, it was about getting 50-60 runs in 30 balls.
