SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Daniel Vettori, while addressing the team's loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2026 opener, said, "We weren't at our best with the ball...One of our poorer bowling performances." This comes after SRH, while batting first, put a total of 201 runs, which was chased by RCB in just 15.4 overs.
