IPL 2023 | Our backs are against the wall: SRH Coach Brian Lara After Loss Against DC

Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) batting woes continued against the Delhi Capitals as well last evening, where the franchise failed to chase down 145 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Apart from Mayank Agarwal, Heinrich Klassen, and Washington Sundar, no other top-middle-order batter contributed, which became their downfall.

Head coach Brian Lara admitted in the post-match conference that SRH have their backs against the wall, having lost as many as five matches out of their seven IPL 2023 encounters. 

 Aiden Markram-led side's only wins have been against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and occupy ninth place in the points table.

As quoted by Indian Express, Lara blamed his batters for not being proactive in the chase and maintained that the track did not have any demons. 

Here's what Lara said

“There were no devils in the pitch, and we could have been more proactive throughout the innings, We left everything too late. I prefer if my batters are a bit more enterprising and take advantage in PowerPlay. We allowed them to take wickets in the middle and cramp us,”

However, we should have chased down that total comfortably. Our bowlers did a good job and our batters needed to do a better job. But moving on, we have seven games left and need to regroup quickly. Our backs are against the wall, and there is no doubt about that and we need to take more responsibility moving forward,”

SRH will want to get back at Delhi Capitals on Saturday when they visit Delhi in their reverse match.
