IPL 2022: Reading Too Much Into Losses Will Put You In A Negative Spiral - Tom Moody After SRH's 3rd Defeat In A Row

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Tom Moody insisted that his team has been fighting hard and coming close but isn’t able to get over the final hurdle. He felt that SRH, despite three losses in a row, have more positives to focus on.

On Thursday, SRH was defeated by Delhi Capitals (DC). Rishabh Pant and co. put up 207/2 on the board with David Warner and Rovman Powell smashing fifties. SRH’s chase began poorly before they eventually ended up losing by 21 runs.

“I would have been concerned if we had been playing poorly. We are playing some pretty good cricket. If it wasn’t for a couple of things, it could have gone our way this evening and would have chased down that total. Everyone saw how close we were when Nicky (Nicholas) Pooran was in the middle of his onslaught (62 off 34 balls).”

“There are more positives for us to hang on and believe that we can turn this very, very quickly. Reading too much into losses will put you into a very negative spiral. We are more focused on drawing out the positives, what we are doing well, and making sure that we continue to do that and patch up the areas we feel we can improve in,” Moody said in the post-match virtual press conference.

Notably, SRH was without their highest wicket-taker, T Natarajan, who sat out due to an injury he sustained. Even Washington Sundar couldn’t make it which meddled with the franchise’s balance in the lower order.

“We will reset and try to get our balance right for the next game. It’s a different venue, different opposition, and conditions. So, we are still positive about the way we are playing. We just need to tighten up on a couple of areas. Every team is in the same sort of position with regard to their campaign. We are certainly no different,” Moody added.

SRH sits in 6th place after the loss with 5 wins and 5 losses in the 10 matches played so far.
