Despite showcasing their aggressive batting style and posting 245\/6 on the board, the Kings fell short on the bowling front as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down the target with 9 balls remaining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the match, Sunil Joshi said, \u201cI think the positive to take away from this match is that our batters are definitely in great form. The bowling, however, needs to improve, and we need to increase our dot-ball percentage. That's what we missed while bowling today on this wicket. On a good wicket, the only difference could be the dot-ball percentage in the middle overs. So that's the key, and we couldn't latch on to half of the chances.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He further added, \u201cI think the bowlers didn't fail, I mean it's a good wicket. People come to see more sixes and boundaries rather than five-wicket hauls. So it was an opportunity for us to do well, but fair enough, we missed our chances.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Openers Prabhsimran Singh (42 off 23) and Priyansh Arya (36 off 13) provided a rapid-fire start to the Kings\u2019 innings, followed by Shreyas Iyer\u2019s captain's knock of 82 runs, which came in just 36 balls.
