The Sunrisers Hyderabad were on top of their game in the first half of the innings as it was controlled by Ishan Kishan and Travis Head. But after the wicket of Head has fallen, the batters haven’t been able to get a move on and their batting has collapsed big time. They have lost 9 wickets for just 60 runs and their fearless approach has cost them dearly. The Sunrisers batters have attempted the big shots despite wickets falling at the other end, and they have crossed the thin line between fearlessness and carelessness.

Having crossed the 100-run mark before the 9th over, the Sunrisers were all set for a massive total on board at their home ground. But the Kolkata Knight Riders have shown tremendous character to hold their nerve and dismantle the batting unit of SRH. It was Varun Chakravarthy who started the collapse and the other bowlers have chipped in well with some clinical bowling. The contribution of the fielders cannot be unnoticed as Rovman Powell pulled off a screamer at the deep and they held onto some difficult catches under the scorching sunlight.
