Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Trevor Bayliss had urged his team not to lose confidence after their seven-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings.
The defeat left SRH rooted to the bottom of the points table with just a single win out of their six matches.
“I mean if you look at our first five matches. The first four matches have been lost by only 10 runs. Just got down to one or two small drop catches here and there, misfield, few poor or bad overs,” said Bayliss.
“Obviously, tonight we got beaten fairly well. Important that we don’t lose our confidence or patience, stick together and keep working hard. There are some good players on this team. T20 is a typical game, gets on a roll one way or the other. There is no reason why we can’t do like what we did last year,” he said.
SRH captain scored 57 runs in 55 balls and was unable to find gaps in the middle overs, hence resulted in a strike rate of just above 100.
“Yeah, look I think David would be the first one to admit that. We struggled to hit the gaps today and we were horrible to the field today. Obviously, with David, that doesn’t happen a lot but tonight it did. The other guys battled really well in a team effort. Unfortunately, 170 wasn’t good enough but they bowled pretty well and obviously batted well,” said Bayliss.
