The Sunrisers Hyderabad team had a disappointing performance in IPL 2023. They are currently at 9th position of the points table, with 6 points in 8 matches. This was a significant drop from their performance in previous seasons, where they had made it to the playoffs multiple times.
Several factors contributed to SRH’s poor performance in IPL 2023. One of the main issues was their batting, which needed to be more consistent, and they struggled to put up big scores. Their bowling could be more effective in comparison to previous seasons.
Zaheer Khan, former Indian fast bowler and current commentator, recently commented on the performance of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team in IPL 2023. Despite having a strong team on paper, Zaheer noted that they could not produce the desired results on the field. He suggested that this was due to factors unrelated to cricket and emphasized the importance of how the team approached their games.
Zaheer Khan stated that recent impactful performer Abhishek Sharma should bat in the top order. However, Harry Brook, who scored a century against Kolkata Knight Rides, should continue to bat in the middle order in the IPL. He emphasized the importance of making the right decisions at the right time.
“He should continue batting at the top of the order even though (Harry) Brook has scored a hundred. IPL is such a tournament that you pay heavily if you make mistakes at the top of the order. A lot of planning goes into finalizing these things even before the tournament starts,” Zaheer said while talking on JioCinema.
Zaheer’s comments serve as a reminder that the IPL is not just about individual performances but also about teamwork and strategy. Teams that can work together and make the right decisions are more likely to succeed in this highly competitive tournament.
“They went back to the Mayank Agarwal and Sharma pair to open the innings today, and it paid off. Brook’s promotion to the top earlier had led to a lot of confusion in their ranks. Even today, I reiterate that SRH is a very good side on paper, but they are not producing the best results, which concerns something unrelated to cricket. How you approach games and your decisions are a big part of IPL.” Zaheer added.

While it is important for a team to have talented players, the approach toward the game and decision-making can significantly impact the outcome. This includes decisions around team selection, tactics, and leadership. A team with a clear strategy and approach is likelier to succeed in the IPL, even if they have the least talented players on paper.
