Pat cummins on why srh loss vs kkr: Captain Pat Cummins admitted that his team is far from his best performance after suffering an 80 -run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday. This defeat is the third consecutive blow to Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, from which they are looking for answers. Cummins expressed disappointment on the occasion, he believed that the target was within reach. Let me tell you, while batting first, Kolkata scored 200, but in response, the entire team of Hyderabad was reduced to just 120 runs.

Speaking at the post match presentation after the defeat of Hyderabad, Pat Cummins said, “It’s not a great time. I think it was worth achieving, it was a very good wicket. We lost a lot of opportunities in the field and then finally left behind.”

Pat Cummins emphasized the need for introspection and suggested that the team may have to revaluate their views. Cummins said, “We need to be realistic, it was not good for us in three consecutive matches. We probably need to look back whether we could choose a better option. When our batsmen pursue the game, they are the best, but we might have adopted a different option when we look back.”

At the same time, even when asked where the team was mistaken, Pat Cummins said, “It was mainly our fielding, the bowling was not bad, we should have caught some catches and they should have stopped a little earlier.”

On the decision to exclude leg spinner Adam Zampa, SRH captain said that the circumstances were not suited to the spin. He said, “We threw only three overs of spin, the ball was not getting caught for us. So we chose to go without them.”

After this crushing defeat, Pat Cummins said, “I probably talk about if we could use different options, but I do not want to pay much attention to it. We go back to the place that we know well now.”

Talking about the match, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and fielding first. His decision seemed to be successful when he sent Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine to the pavilion on a single-judge score. Kolkata’s score was 16/2 at a time, but Rahane (38 in 27 balls with 38, one four and four sixes) and Raghuvanshi (50 in 32 balls, 50 with five fours and two sixes) made Kolkata a return to the match.

After these two stars were dismissed, Venkatesh Iyer (60 runs with the help of seven fours and three sixes in 29 balls) and Rinku Singh (32* with the help of four fours and a six in 17 balls) shared 91 runs for the fifth wicket to reach Kolkata to 200/6 in 20 overs.

During the run-chase, Hyderabad was never in the match and kept losing wickets rapidly. Hyderabad batsmen had no answer to the balls of Vaibhav Arora (3/29) and Varun Chakraborty (3/22). Only heinrich Klassen (with the help of 33 in 21 balls, two fours and two sixes) and Kamindu Mendis (with the help of 27 in 20 balls, one four and two sixes) could cross the 20 -run figure.

With this victory, Kolkata’s campaign with two wins and two defeats has come back to some extent. They are in fifth place. Hyderabad ranks at the bottom with one win and three necklaces.
