IPL 2026: 'They Didn't Show Enough Responsibility After Early Wickets,' Says Pathan On SRH Batting
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) struggles in the powerplay with the bat and ineffective bowling led to their six-wicket loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2026 opener played at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.
Reflecting on the defeat, Pathan pointed out that SRH failed to capitalise on the powerplay after losing early wickets, which hampered their ability to post a truly imposing total.
“Ishan Kishan mentioned after the game that they would have to look at their approach, especially at the start. If you lose regular wickets, you have to play with more responsibility, which didn’t happen,” Pathan told Jio Hotstar.
