SRH have endured a rough outing in IPL 2023 so far. The side is currently ninth in the points table with only two wins out of seven, and will most likely need a win in all of their remaining matches to stand a chance for a playoff qualification. However, PBKS batting coach Wasim Jaffer has pointed out another concern for the side; their usage of Umran Malik.

Wasim Jaffer said on ESPNCricinfo –

“SRH are playing Umran Malik, but he bowled only two overs in the match against Delhi. Instead of him, they could have played a batter. If you don’t trust him as a bowler, it’s better to bring in a batsman to the team.”

Jaffer added – “Delhi were 62/5 at one point, but Hyderabad allowed them to reach 144. If they had bowled better, things could have been easier for them. Letting Delhi make 144 was a mistake by SRH.”
