"We were probably a bit short"- SRH captain Pat Cummins after loss against MI in IPL 2024 match
After the conclusion of the match, SRH skipper Pat Cummins reflected on the loss, saying:
"We were probably a bit short with the bat. Little bit in there on the wicket early. I always thought that the wicket had something about it. Having Sunny out there helped us get to 170."
He added:
"A quick bowler would have been great but I don't think that would have made a difference. It's T20 cricket and doesn't really work out the way you want. SKY took the game away for us. Hopefully a few more fireworks in the coming games."
