Shikhar Dhawan, the captain of Punjab Kings, has laid the blame for his teams eight-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Hyderabad on Sunday (April 10).At the conclusion of the match, Shikhar Dhawans unbeaten 99 off 66 balls lifted his team to 143 for nine against Sunrisers Hyderabad.We lost the game because our batting unit lost too many wickets consecutively and was unable to put up a significant total on the ground. A score between 175 and 180 would have been adequate. The wicket looked very great however it was seaming and swinging,” Dhawan said at the post-match show.Dhawan, who was named the player of the match for his incredible innings, said, ” I didnt think I would get there at the end of the day, but I played the way things were going and kept my composure. It was disappointing to see wickets keep falling, but the wicket wasnt playing the way we thought it would. It was seaming and occasionally lowering. But my batting team is learning from that, and thats fine,” he said.“Im extremely thankful for 99 on the grounds that I never suspected Id arrive at there so Im exceptionally blissful,” he added.SRH registers first win of season under Dhawan CaptionshipSRH wins for the first time this season Chasing 144, SRH won in 17.1 overs thanks to Rahul Tripathis 74 not out from 48 balls. Aiden Markram, the winning captain, dubbed it a “special” victory.“We are happy to have won today, even though the beginning was a little rough for us. Im really glad for Markande. Tonight, he bowled extremely well. He showed his class tonight and is just a few balls away from something special. Markram scored 37 off 21 as he and Tripathi added 100 off 52 balls to bring the group back home.“With Rahul (Tripathi) at the other end, its easy. It means a lot to win our first game of the season against a great team.With figures of 4 for 15, spinner Mayank Markande was SRHs star performer, knocking Punjab Kings out for 88 for nine in the 15th over. ecstatic to have the chance. In the middle overs, it is my job to take wickets. Fortunately, I got the wickets because I bowled slowly. You should always be prepared in accordance with the impact rule, Markande stated.My conversations with Adil Rashid have been helpful. I put in a lot of effort alongside Aavishkar Salvi during the red-ball season. Im pleased to contribute, and I give this performance high marks.
