SRH team’s head coach Daniel Vettori wants the franchise to focus on successfully chasing targets as well, after their success in setting totals. Vettori made the remarks after SRH’s loss by 35 runs against RCB at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on April 26, Thursday. SRH’s 4-match winning streak was snapped by the bottom-ranked RCB, who breathed some life into their tournament hopes. SRH have won 4 of the 8 matches that they have played while batting first.
“I think you know, we have been successful setting totals, and now we have to look at our way of chasing, and we come up against a really good team in Chennai. And so, I suppose for us removing ourselves from this game and understanding that the Chepauk wicket would be different, and we are going to have to go about it in a different manner. So we’ve only got a couple of days to put that into place,” Vettori said.
However, the SRH head coach did not want the team to change their aggressive game and still wanted the team to play with that intent.
“But I still think on this ground, these surfaces, we’re gonna have to be aggressive and take the game off,” Vettori added.
SRH boast a great batting lineup with their batters plundering one record after another in every game they play. The deadly opening combination of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma has been the key factor in SRH’s resurgence in the tournament. However, with the early dismissal of the opening duo against RCB, SRH found themselves struggling to chase down the target of 207 runs.
