The Sunrisers were defeated by the Kolkata Knight Riders by a score of just four runs in their first game. Pressing for the home advantage is Cummins’ goal.With just one victory at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and a dismal home record of four wins and ten losses in 2023, Sunrisers Hyderabad finished last in the points standings with just eight points.
The team captained by Aiden Markram had a disappointing season, losing its opening two games before winning the next two before collapsing for the remainder of the competition.
There were so few takeoffs because of the fall, and Pat Cummins, the new captain, hopes to rectify this.

I can push Bhuvi to grab some huge wickets up front, and I can bowl some excellent overs towards the end of the innings. The most significant benefit is that we can always count on Buvi’s four overs,” he continued.
Regarding the previous game, in which his team was within four runs of winning but lost, Cummins stated: “I think you look at the whole game and there are a lot of positives from the last match and it was a close one.” We were, I believe, proactive in our match-ups with their bowlers, but we were not perfect in a few areas.
T20 will feature matches like that, but we’re incredibly happy with how close we were to crossing the line.
The best bowler was T Natarajan, who claimed three wickets, and Mayank Markande, who claimed two. But Andre Russell, who blasted a magnificent 25-ball 64, punished Sunrisers. Cummins continued to have faith in his bowling assault despite the defeat.
“Our bowlers were excellent, especially the one who bowled to Andre Russell, who has a tougher role in cricket. “It all boils down to execution,” declared the captain of the winning World Cup.
Heinrich Klassen kept his side alive during the chase with a 29-ball 63, and the captain stated the top-order is crucial.
“There is no denying that Klassen and Markram are top-tier world athletes. Our goal is to maximize PowerPlay with the best players.
In response to a question on the differences between captaining an IPL side and Australia, Cummins stated, “I haven’t captained Australia in T20s and it’s a bit faster.” Comparing the Indian Premier League to other global competitions, it is a little different and generally more scoring, but overall it has been great, particularly with the bowling lineup.
A few days prior, Mumbai Indians batsman Dewald Brevis was the team’s show stealer, but his team was unable to open the account as they lost to Gujarat Titans by six runs.
Brevis, who was thinking back on the defeat, stated that the group will attempt to win against Hyderabad. The majority of the questions focused on Hardik Pandya’s leadership, since he took Rohit Sharma’s place. Brevis reported that the new leader had created a positive team environment.
“The team dynamic is fantastic, and Rohit continues to be a fantastic leader from whom I continue to learn.” The atmosphere within the team is excellent,” he remarked.
