SRH Captain Pat Cummins Delivers Powerful Statement After DC Loss: ‘It’s Too Early…’
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins is unfazed by consecutive losses early in IPL 2025, stating it’s “too early to worry.” After a formidable start, where SRH scored 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals, they faced defeats from Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. Cummins acknowledges the need for strategic adjustments, highlighting the struggles of their top-order and shot selection. “A few wrong shots… sometimes catches in the deep are part of the game,” he noted, emphasizing the small margins in play.
Ankiet Verma’s resilient 74-run performance stood out, offering a glimmer of hope amid the setbacks. Cummins praised Verma’s preparation leading up to the tournament, while Mitchell Starc, who took five wickets, credited the collective effort of the team. He emphasized the need for bowlers to innovate. “It’s about thinking outside the box; you have to get batters out in new ways,” Starc shared.
Delhi Capitals’ skipper Axar Patel expressed satisfaction with his team’s execution, reflecting their understanding of game dynamics and adaptable strategy. He conveyed confidence in their collective ability, confident in maintaining strong performance trends as the tournament progresses.
