But I can tell you, everyone’s terrified of when they come up against us and we have got to blow some teams out of the water before they have even walked out on the field." Head also deep dive into SRH's approach for scoring big runs, stating that there will be games where the all-out aggressive approach may not work but Sunrisers are counting on having more good days than bad. He said, “There’s going to be a game where it may not come off and we’ve seen that against the Kings in the first half, but Nitish (Reddy) played an exceptional knock to get us to where we needed.

Also to understand that yeah, it’s okay if it doesn’t work and we got to keep the belief and keep moving and hopefully we’ll have more good days than bad." Sunrisers Hyderabad had set the record book ablaze with a total of 288 runs, the highest ever scored in an IPL match.
