Speaking after the nine-run win, Hyderabad skipper Aiden Markram hailed his side for putting up a good team effort and showing character. He commented:
“Great team effort. Good to see the guys show good skills and character. I don’t mind getting things wrong if the approach is right. It helps to see such performances, the guys will see that results are there to be had. Credit to the way the team has responded.”
Markram commented on Klaasen and Abhishek:
“Klassy [Heinrich Klaasen] has been in great form, and Abhishek did the hard work early on. Klassy backs himself to play that way, good to see it pay off. We needed wickets to get back in the game, and it needed a special catch from Mayank [Markande]. Fortunately, the ball was stopping a bit and the bowlers showed great character to execute their spoils.”
Despite the victory, Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently 8th in the IPL 2023 points table with 6 points after 8 games.
