After losing the first game, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Brian Lara had all praise for renowned Indian fast bowler T Natarajan. Although Natarajan, who has a history of being particularly prone to injuries, lost to SRH Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the fourth game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, he bounced back strongly in his second period by allowing 13 runs in his first over.

Brian Lara praised SRH fast bowler T Natarajan for his comeback-
I was quite impressed by Natarajan’s return. The seasoned West Indies batsman claimed that although he let up runs in his first over, he made a good comeback in his final three overs.
The left-arm seamer made one final appearance for Sunrisers and gave up 13 runs in his over, but he performed admirably in his second session by dismissing the opposing captain Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag.
He completed his three over of his term at 23/2.
At one point, we believed we would be chasing a goal of more than 220, but our bowlers excelled in the last stages of the match to keep them to 203 for 5.
Sanju Samson-led RR chose to bat first going into the game after SRH captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the toss and chose to bowl first. In Hyderabad, they scored a massive 203 for five. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal both got half centuries, making up the top three batters for the Royals. Also included is Samson’s Fifty.
Chahal was one of the bowlers with statistics of 4/17 in four overs while star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin subsequently claimed a wicket. Sunrisers only managed to score figures of 131/8 in their 20 overs. Butler’s 54 off 22 balls earned him the title of match’s most valuable player.

if the game was divided into two sections. The first powerplay that we had the ball for was unsuccessful. Also, we lost both of our powerplays while we had the bat in our hands. He scored 85 runs with the bat before losing two wickets in the first over, delaying your attempt to reach 200 or more.

Our team is aware of where we stand. The competition started with a catastrophic loss, but it is only the beginning, and we hope to recover from this, Lara said.
Whereas SRH will face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their upcoming IPL 2023 match on April 7 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
