After sealing the future of Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL), SunRisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson heaped praises on SRH bowlers.
“Our bowling attack has been outstanding and so has been the fielding unit. We might not be our best today, but we still saw some signs of brilliance in both aspects, which made the difference and hence we managed to just sneak in across the line today,” Williamson said.
However, the 27-year-old cricketer wants his bowler to get more wickets in the powerplay overs. “If we could take wickets early, it would be great. But it’s really hard on the surfaces we are playing unless the batsman comes extremely hard because the wickets are on the slower side. There has not been too much swing on offer as well,” Kane said.

Kane Williamson scored 58 runs off 39 deliveries and was also awarded man-of-the-match trophy for his fantastic innings.
“I think it was a varied surface. We were targetting 150 at the start. At times we struggled a little bit but there were moments we thought perhaps we will reach 155-160, but we got around 140. We still felt we are in the game with the total,” the SRH captain said.
Kane Williamson also backed his batsmen and said the low totals had not been due to lack of effort. “The batsmen need to go and play with more freedom. We have been on surfaces that has been very difficult to bat, especially to come in towards the end. It is really important to play smart cricket, but at the same time, we want to get as many runs on the board as we can. But it’s not due to lack of effort,” Kane said.
