I don't see any reason why can't we turn around things: Bhuvneshwar Kumar
While speaking on the Risers podcast recently, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was optimistic that SRH could make a comeback in the second half of the IPL by putting in some decent performances.
He also pointed out that under Kane Williamson, SRH had a great run in 2018. On SRH's chances in the second half of the tournament, Bhuvneshwar Kumar said:
"When I came to know of IPL moving to Dubai for the second leg, the first thing that came to my mind was what happened to me last year. But of course, I want to forget that part and move on from that. Yes, we are not in a good position currently but I don't see any reason why can't we turn around things. Kane led us wonderfully in 2018, so I'm hoping things get better for us in the second leg of the IPL."
SRH side will begin their campaign in the second phase of IPL 2021 on September 22. They will square off against the Delhi Capitals at the Dubai International Stadium.
