“I think the bowlers did an extremely good job” – Ishan Kishan after SRH’s loss vs LSG in IPL 2026 clash in Hyderabad

Speaking at the post-match presentation, SRH skipper Ishan Kishan appreciated his bowling unit for putting on a decent performance while defending a low total. Reflecting on the loss, Kishan said:

“I think the bowlers did an extremely good job today. They bowled according to the plan to the right areas, credit goes to the fielders as well for putting all the effort. But you know, one or two of boundaries in these kind of tournaments can go and let’s take the match away. So yeah, but I’m happy with the way we fought this game.”

He continued:

“I think losing four wickets early, you know, it gives pressure to other batsmen as well. So, I think, but still, I’ll appreciate Klasee and Nitish for taking the total so deep. And I think like in a very good manner, like how it was needed. So yeah, credit goes to them. But yeah, we need to work on batting as well, given so many games where we all make it easier for our chasing team.”
