From being called the most dangerous side to struggling to find victory from the past four fixtures, Sunrisers Hyderabad have demoralised their fans with their poor performances lately. SRH's aim to bounce back was extended when they faced the Gujarat Titans in the last match.

Following the defeat vs GT, SRH’s head coach Daniel Vettori acknowledged the team’s ongoing challenges.

Vettori Speaks On Consecutive Setbacks

After a thrilling start to their IPL 2025 campaign, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost momentum, suffering back-to-back defeats. Their last match against the Gujarat Titans was no exception, as Shubman Gill and Co crushed them by 7 wickets. 

The Orange Army's ongoing batting woes cost them the match. After the defeat, SRH head coach Daniel Vettori addressed the team’s ongoing challenges.

“We just haven’t been near our best in any of the last four games. And I think that’s all three disciplines. I think the barometer of most teams is now their fielding is going and we’ve been pretty poor in the field. So those will be the work-ons between now and the Punjab game. And we know that if we can get on a roll, then we’re still a very good team. We’re just not performing the way that we should be.” Vettori said.

Where Is The Problem Lying?

After having a great season in IPL 2024, SRH grandly returned to the IPL 2025. But in the last match, SRH's struggles were evident, as their batters failed to provide them with a solid start. 

Reflecting on the slump, head coach Daniel Vettori believes the team’s struggle lies in assessing conditions effectively.

“I think the big thing for us is around assessing conditions. And the conditions were really tough tonight. I mean, this wasn’t a typical Hyderabad wicket. It was pretty slow. And we knew before we started that that 160-170 score was what we were after. And I thought that the way that, I mean, particularly Ishan, I thought he navigated the powerplay pretty well, was able to score and play some good shots,” he said.

"So I think we know the style that’s going to work, but we have to respect conditions and we have to assess really well. And that’s probably something we haven’t done as well. And also have to respect how well other teams are bowling, putting a lot of planning into our top three. And they have been able to execute at times,” he added.

After securing only one victory in the five matches, the Sunrisers Hyderabad slipped into the last position of the points table. Desperate to turn things around, they now gear up for a crucial clash against Punjab Kings, determined to stage a strong comeback.
