‘SRH will go with slightly different plan’

New Delhi, March 28: After Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets in IPL 2025, head coach Daniel Vettori said the side will take positives from the defeat and go with a slightly different plan when facing Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, LSG didn’t allow SRH’s famed batting line-up to go hammer and tongs, as they eventually made 190/9. In reply, LSG chased down the target with 23 balls to spare and got their first win of IPL 2025.
“We got to a score 190, which I think was competitive. But we also know that we go to Vizag, completely different conditions and ground size, and we’re going to have to build up maybe a slightly different plan from what we do here.“Our style will still remain the same, but the questions we ask ourselves will just be a little bit different. So quick learnings from the game around the intent were perfect, and we just find a couple more ways with the ball and understand when a batsman’s in that form, we just have to jump into a few different things,” said Vettori in his address to SRH players in a video posted by the franchise on its X account on Friday.
Talking about the positives he saw from the match, Vettori lauded uncapped batter Aniket Verma for his 36 off 13 balls, and captain Pat Cummins hitting three sixes at the fag end of the innings. “Every team in the IPL could lose six odd games. We’ve just got one of them out of the way. But I think if you actually look at the performance, there’s a lot of very good stuff and a lot of stuff that we talked about.“Particularly around the assessment of that wicket – I think we’ve come from a surface that was 280, and then the feedback early on was around 200-220. Bar a couple of unlucky dismissals in each class, we were well on our way. (IANS)
