Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs in the third match of IPL 2021 played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Hyderabad captain David Warner is very disappointed with the defeat against KKR in a thrilling match. After the match, he admitted that his team’s bowling was too weak, causing them to lose.
After the match, Warner said, “We could not implement our plan properly in bowling, while Manish Pandey and Jonny Bairstow helped after losing two wickets early in the batting, that was amazing.
I think If you bowl over the pitch then you will definitely get hit. The same thing is not seen from the Kolkata bowlers. They bowled at a good height, which helped them a lot. “
However, Warner also praised Manish Pandey and Jonny Bairstow. “The way we lost two wickets in the beginning after that Jonny and Manish came back which was good. Looking at the batting, we got a good rhythm in the tournament, but there are still many matches to play,” he said.
