Bhuvneshwar Kumar, a pacer for Sunrisers Hyderabad, summed up the T20 format and emphasized the difficulties it presents for bowlers. This information was made public following SRH’s thrilling close victory over the Punjab Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) competition.
While Punjab suffered their first home loss, SRH secured their third victory. With this, SRH is presently in fifth place in the points table with six points from the five games.
After SRH won, Kumar remarked in the post-match press conference, “That is the beauty of the T20 game for the spectators, not for the bowlers (smiles)”. This was reported by TOI. Both sides scored more than 180 runs in the game, which was contested at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.
Thanks to a strong half-century from young Nitish Reddy and some late blows from Abdul Samad and Shahbaz Ahmed, SRH managed to score a formidable 182/9. As a result, the hosts’ chase got off to a rocky start as they continued to lose wickets often.

However, PBKS concluded their innings at 180/6 as lower-order batsmen Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma nearly pulled off a comeback and brought it to the last over, falling short by just two runs. As noted by Kumar, the bowlers that day were mostly at the whim of the hitters. “In the last few overs, the wicket changed significantly; both they and we scored runs.” Nice to win,” he continued.
Bhuvneshwar clarified his strategy against batters after spearheading the SRH pace attack with two important wickets. “Everyone is aware of what you are going to do, but the key is to be consistent and simplify the process. You also need a little bit of luck,” the 34-year-old remarked.
He even gave Ashutosh Sharma credit for nearly saving his side from defeat in a difficult circumstance, saying of him, “He (Ashutosh) batted well.” It’s commendable and beneficial for India when someone is batting and you believe they can still win the game, Bhuvneshwar said.
