The former captain of India Virender Sehwag has shown no mercy while making fun of the former Co-team Amit Mishra during a live YouTube session. The incident after the show of the show asked Mishra if Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) could still qualify for the playoffs. SRH seated second with only two victories of their first eight matches, after their defeat against the Indians of Mumbai (Mi) on Thursday. While speaking during a live post-match session on SpitMishra turned away from the subject, and rather opened on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and their chances of going to the playoffs.
“I think it’s almost impossible. The cricket brand they are playing at the moment, it will be difficult to win the six games. For that, they should do well in all the departments. If Dhoni manages to beat the order, he must play at least 30 balls, with respect for their best order,” said.
However, he was interrupted by Sehwag, who reminded him that the question concerned SRH and not Dhoni or CSK.
Mishra was quick to apologize, to which Sehwag replied: “It is because of the aura of Dhoni”.
Meanwhile, the captain of the SRH Pat Cummins admitted that his team had no stabilizing presence in their sleeves, when they had dropped to a defeat with seven counters against Mi.
Speaking after the match, Cummins credited Heinrich Klaan and Abhinav Manohar for having given SRH something to play, but conceded that it was simply not enough.
“Abhinav and Klassy led us to a good total, but we could not pass these sleeves,” said Cummins, referring to SRH’s early collapse at 35 for 5. “Needed a guy to really stabilize the ship.”
SRH will be back in action on Friday because they will face CSK in Chennai. Like SRH, CSK has also won twice this season and has been sitting at the bottom of the battery.
