Tom Moody, the Sunrisers Hyderabad coach, has hailed his side’s bowlers, saying that defending totals was crucial to be consistent in a long T20 tournament like the IPL.
Hyderabad have set IPL 2018 alight – they were the first team to qualify for the play-offs, have accrued the most points so far, with 18 in 12 games, and are favourites to finish top of the table.
“Kane Williamson is a world-class player in all formats of the game. We managed to secure some new blood to the Sunrisers in the last auction. Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan give us greater depth to our middle order. We retained Deepak Hooda, who is an exciting middle-order batsman.”
After their clash against Bangalore on Thursday, Hyderabad will play their final group game Kolkata Knight Riders before travelling to Mumbai for Qualifier 1.
