Daniel Vettori Acknowledges SRH’s Poor Performance in IPL 2025
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been a disappointing one for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) so far. Despite having a strong squad on paper, the team has failed to deliver on the field, with their latest seven-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians (MI) being a stark reminder of their poor form. SRH head coach Daniel Vettori has now acknowledged his team’s poor performance, citing their inability to put in a collective effort as the main reason for their struggles.
“It’s gonna take one performance and we just haven’t been able to put a collective performance together bar the two games,” Vettori said in a post-match interview. This statement sums up SRH’s struggles in IPL 2025, where they have failed to string together a consistent run of performances.
SRH’s IPL 2025 campaign got off to a dismal start, with the team losing their first four matches. Despite showing some signs of improvement in the following games, the team’s poor form continued, with them currently sitting at the bottom of the points table. The seven-wicket loss to MI was their fifth defeat in seven matches, leaving the team with a lot of work to do if they want to make a comeback in the tournament.
Vettori, a former New Zealand cricketer and a highly respected coach, has been at the helm of SRH since 2020. He has been instrumental in the team’s success in the past, leading them to the playoffs in IPL 2022. However, this season has been a different story, with the team struggling to gel as a unit.
The team’s batting has been a major concern, with their top-order failing to deliver consistently. The likes of Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg, and Kane Williamson have all struggled to score big, leaving the team’s middle-order to fight fires. The bowling department has also been inconsistent, with the team leaking runs at an alarming rate.
Despite these struggles, Vettori remains optimistic about his team’s chances of turning things around. “We need to get some wins under our belt, and once we do that, we’ll be back on track,” he said. “We just need to get some momentum going, and once we do that, we’ll be okay.”
SRH’s next few matches will be crucial in determining their fate in the tournament. They face a tough task ahead, with matches against top teams like Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings lined up in the coming weeks. However, if they can manage to get a few wins under their belt, they can still make a push for the playoffs.
In conclusion, SRH’s poor performance in IPL 2025 is a cause for concern, but the team can still turn things around. With a few wins, they can get back on track and make a push for the playoffs. Coach Daniel Vettori’s words of encouragement will be music to the ears of the SRH fans, who are eagerly waiting to see their team bounce back.
