Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has raised concerns over the "perplexing" batting tactics employed by Sunrisers Hyderabad during the powerplay in the first IPL Qualifier. He suggested that their aggressive approach might have been the cause of their defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Mitchell Starc, after dismissing Travis Head with an exceptional delivery on his second ball, dismantled the SRH top-order during his initial spell, ending with figures of 3 wickets for 22 runs in 3 overs.
