Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Aiden Markram opened up about the loss his side suffered in the 25th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 against Mumbai Indians (MI). He said that he isn’t bummed by the defeat and there are still some areas in which they need to improve.
Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered their fifth consecutive loss of the IPL 2023 as they received a 14-run thumping at the hands of Mumbai Indians. Bowling first, they didn’t have a good start as openers Rohit Sharma (28) and Ishan Kishan (39) took their bowlers to the cleaners in the powerplay.

Chasing the target, they were under pressure upfront as they lost a few quick wickets and even after a partnership between Mayank Agarwal (48), Aiden Markram (22) and Heinrich Klaasen (36), they failed to chase the target. In the batting department, building partnerships was the one thing that cost them.

Aiden Markram admitted that they were out at their best and said that they leaked a few runs at the end. Speaking at a post-match presentation, he said:
“All in all we were not at our best tonight. Credit to the boys for taking it deep. We could have done with conceding fewer runs towards the end. It (the surface) stayed pretty much the same throughout the night, on the slower side, not bad at all. Whenever we took pace off the ball did not come on to the bat.”

Aiden Markram further said that they need to improve a few areas and they would be looking to win the next game. He elaborated.
“We made a call (to bowl first) before the toss and if the dew came in then we were in the game. There was a desperation to make things right from the previous season. Not too bummed, there are areas we can improve on and we will look to do that to give us a good chance to win the next game.,”
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be next seen in action when they will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday (21st April).
