The bowling lineup of SunRisers Hyderabad is looking better and settled now, as the inclusion of Marco Jansen and Mayank Markande gave them a huge boost, and in the batting lineup, Aiden Markram’s consistent scoring form is also a big positive for them.

“The crowd today was phenomenal. My experience in the IPL so far has been one to remember. I was doubting myself in the last few games but to go out there with a little bit of mentality that I don’t care was really nice to have come off.”

“I was putting pressure on myself a little bit after the first few games. You go on social media and people are calling you rubbish. You start to doubt yourself a little bit. I just went out there with an ‘I don’t care’ mentality tonight and thankfully it came off. There are a lot of Indian fans out there who’ll say ‘well done’ tonight. But they were slagging me off a few days ago. Glad I could shut them up, to be honest,”
