HYDERABAD: After two losses in as many games, Sunrisers Hyderabad were staring down the barrel but the manner in which they came out firing on Sunday night has not only warmed the hearts of the fans but also brought a great deal of comfort to skipper Aiden Markram.
The South African was all praise for his ‘great bunch of guys’ and said it all boiled down to proper execution of plans. “It’s quite hard to put my finger on it right now but ultimately it comes down to execution. Both teams had their plans, we too had done our homework. In the previous games too, these plans were there but, unfortunately, execution let us down a bit but tonight we were on it especially from the bowling point of view. We started really well with the new ball and took wickets in the powerplay and were able to put pressure on them. It was a great execution of plans with the new ball and then the ability to keep pressure on them after that was wonderful. Then we had a great spell of spin by Mayank Markande,” Markram said at a post match briefing.
