Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Veteran India bater Cheteshwar Pujara believes the Sunrisers Hyderabad went too hard and were not smart enough with their batting approach in their seven-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals.
At the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Sunday, SRH were reduced to 37/4 and despite Aniket Verma’s brilliant 41-ball 74, SRH could only make 163 in their 18.4 overs, as DC completed the chase with four overs to spare.
"Firstly I was really surprised they chose to bat first. When you're playing an afternoon game, you know that the pitch will be slightly on the slow side, that's when you normally prefer to bowl and that's an ideal time to bowl, not an ideal time to bat. I thought they should have bowled first. But talking about their batting, I think they go too hard and they were not smart enough," said Pujara to ESPNCricinfo.
