In a live YouTube session, Virender Sehwag mocked Amit Mishra and said that the question was about Sunrisers Hyderabad, not about Dhoni and CSK. Mishra admitted his mistake. SRH captain Pat Cummins blamed the team's lack of consistency after the loss to Mumbai Indians.
Former India opener Virender Sehwag recently made fun of his former teammate Amit Mishra during a live YouTube session. The incident took place between Sehwag and Mishra during a show when the host asked Amit Mishra if Sunrisers Hyderabad can still qualify for the playoffs. After losing to Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, Sunrisers Hyderabad are in second place with just two wins from their first eight matches. Speaking during a live post-match session, Amit Mishra deviated from the topic and instead started talking about Chennai Super Kings and their chances of reaching the playoffs.
"I think it's almost impossible. With the kind of cricket they are playing right now, it will be difficult to win all six matches. For this, they have to perform well in all departments. If Dhoni comes to bat in the top order, he will have to play at least 30 balls, in which his top order should be fully respected. "
However, Sehwag interrupted him and reminded him that the question was about SRH and not about Dhoni or CSK. Amit Mishra immediately apologised, to which Sehwag replied, "It's all because of Dhoni's Aura."
Talking about the match, SRH captain Pat Cummins admitted that his team's innings lacked consistency as they lost to Mumbai by seven wickets. After the match, Cummins credited Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar for giving SRH a chance to bowl, but admitted that the runs were not enough.
Cummins, referring to Hyderabad's fall of 5 wickets for 35 runs, said, "Abhinav and Klassy gave us a good score, but we could not carry this innings forward. Such a player was needed to handle the ship. "
SRH's next match will be against Chennai Super Kings on Friday. Like Sunrisers, Chennai has also won two wins so far this season and is at the bottom of the points table.
