It was nice to lose this match
Jitesh Sharma said in his statement after the defeat in the match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad team that I think I had no answer in front of his attack. I think there was a decrease in intensity, but it was good to lose this match. I was disappointed at being dismissed, I have no update about Tim David’s injury yet. I think it was good to lose this match, the good thing is that we are batting well, our bowlers bowled brilliantly in the death overs. After this defeat, I think it is good to get this shock, we will make a good comeback in the upcoming matches.
