Skipper’s job becomes easy when team does well: Bhuvneshwar

After losing their opening IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders, the Sunrisers went on the win three back-to-back games against Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals.

New Delhi: Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a hat-trick of wins in the ongoing IPL to move to the top of the points table and stand-in-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar said a skipper’s job becomes relatively easy when the team does well.

After losing their opening IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders, the Sunrisers went on the win three back-to-back games against Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals.

“When the team does well, captaincy is always easy. Captain is as good as his team,” Bhuvneshwar said at the post-match presentation ceremony after Sunrisers beat Delhi by five wickets here last night.

The Sunrisers captain said it was a difficult wicket to bat on.

“With the toss we were not sure how the wicket was going to play. We were not surprised but we knew it wouldn’t be too slow in the second innings,” he said.

Bhuvneshwar feels that all the pitches across the country would behave in similar fashion as the tournament progresses.

“Second half of the IPL, it’s going to be slow all over India, and we have to be choosy with our eleven,” he said.
