LSG vs SRH: “It sort of killed us”, says SRH Head Coach Brian Lara on Losing Three Key Batters in No Time

LSG vs SRH: Lucknow Super Giants defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets in the IPL 2023 game on April 7. SRH Head Coach Brian Lara looked pretty upset after the defeat and stated that losing Anmolpreet Singh, Aiden Markram, and Harry Brook in seven balls proved to be the game-changing moment in the LSG vs SRH match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad had lost the wicket of opening batter Mayank Agarwal in the third over. Furthermore, after losing Mayank, SRH batters Anmolpreet Singh and Rahul Tripathi looked to anchor their innings against the penetrating bowling lineup of Lucknow Super Giants.

However, Krunal Pandya got rid of Anmolpreet Singh and SRH skipper Aiden Markram in consecutive deliveries which applied brakes on the SRH innings. On the other hand, Harry Brook was dismissed by leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the next over making things worse for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

LSG vs SRH: “We come up with a solution for it“, says Brian Lara

“We are losing a lot of wickets in clumps. In the first game, we lost two wickets in the first over and tonight (Friday) we lost three wickets in seven balls, which changed the complexion of the game, so we definitely have to look at our batting and come up with a solution for it, ” Brian Lara said.

“The period of time where we lost Anmolpreet (Singh), Captain Aiden Markram, and Harry Brook, it sort of killed us at that point. I think we definitely have to improve our batting,” the SRH Head Coach further added.

Aiden Markram and Harry Brook fail to deliver on turning the Lucknow wicket in the LSG vs SRH game

Aiden Markram had missed Sunrisers Hyderabad’s first IPL 2023 game after which the team management had huge expectations from him in the second game against LSG. Markram couldn’t live up to the expectations as he tried driving the first delivery he faced and was beaten by the turn.

English batter Harry Brook had a terrible outing in the first game and couldn’t succeed in the LSG vs SRH game as well. Brook danced down the pitch in order to play an aggressive shot but missed the line completely and got out stumped.

The SRH management will expect much better returns from both Aiden Markram and Harry Brook as they have invested heavily in them. The form of these two overseas batters will decide Sunrisers Hyderabad’s fortune in IPL 2023.
