Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins has proposed a shift in strategy after the team's third consecutive loss in the tournament. The team suffered an ignominious 80-run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders, failing to chase a 201-run target and getting bowled out for just 120 in 16.4 overs.

Despite a miscalculated mid-innings assessment of the pitch's playability, Cummins expressed a need for introspection, particularly in the fields of aggressive batting and subpar field performances. He called attention to the need for more calculated approaches and highlighted the importance of addressing fielding mishaps.

In contrast, KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane commended his team's exemplary batting display. Despite early setbacks, KKR consolidated effectively, setting a challenging target. Rahane's tactical leadership and the team's adaptability played a crucial role, resulting in a crucial victory, setting an example for strategic play moving forward.
