Rishabh would be first one to admit that he didn’t have a good season, says Marsh

Asked about the positives for the season, Marsh said that the balance sheet could be checked after the end of the 14th league game.

“I think the time for reflection is probably after the season and for me personally just focus on trying to contribute to winning the next two games for our team and for our franchise. Like I said, the IPL is a beast of a tournament and the margins are really small.”

“We lost a couple of close games throughout the season that now have come back to bite us, but yeah, it’s all about finishing off the season as strong as we possibly can now.”

Few times we have been tripped by conditions: Vettori

Sunrisers Hyderabad had changed the template of T20 batting last season with their attack-only philosophy but it didn’t work during this season where they have been knocked out of the play-offs race with two matches still left, head coach Daniel Vettori accepted after winning the inconsequential game.

“People have talked about it, that obviously we came into the year with a reputation of being aggressive, and then the first game we made 280, and there was talk of that continuing on.”

“I think for us it’s just learning about conditions and understanding how we play in those certain conditions, and a few times we’ve been tripped up by them,” Vettori said.

Adaptability became a key issue for the ‘Orange Army’, the legendary former left-arm spinner said.

“Probably (we) haven’t adapted as quickly as we want and played a game that wasn’t suited to those sort of wickets, so that’s the major learning, and today was a good example of that, that we could be aggressive in the power play, but then through those middle stages, we had to bat responsibility and take certain options, so I think that’s a really pleasing factor for us,” the New Zealander said.
