Hyderabad: Knight fans call him ‘Byambo’. He is the match winner. You can single-handedly turn the tide of the match. That Ramandeep Singh is a final failure in IPL. He is the burden of the team in every match.
The same applies against Tim Seifert. Calcutta Knight Riders gave a chance to the Kiwi star by sitting Finn Allen. Along with wicketkeeping, he was opening the innings. But failed with the bat.
Forced into a life-or-death situation, Sunrisers took a bold decision against Hyderabad on Sunday KKR . Two stars were cut together. Manish Pandey is being played instead of Ramandeep. This is the first current IPLManish is playing. Finn Allen returned to the team instead of Seifert.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first. He returned to IPL after recovering from injury. However, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane said that if he won the toss, he would have decided to bat first. Rahane said, ‘We also wanted to bat first. We had a few days break before the match. Such a break helps a lot. To think anew as a team, is beneficial. We need to think about what needs to be done, where improvements are needed.’
