However, the SRH struggled to reach the small target after losing captain David Warner, who has been the main run-getter for the team, early in the chase. Shikhar Dhawan played a key role in getting Hyderabad over the line with a 40-ball 47.

"Frankly speaking, we could have won that two or three overs before. Warner is the one who was really scoring runs for us. When he got out, it was mostly depending on Shikhar to bat through to take us to the win. But, as a batting unit, we always talk about one of three top batsmen should bat through.

That's what Shikhar did," Kumar said. As for bowling, Kumar said it mostly depended on the wicket and conditions.

"It's not a set pattern. It depends on wicket, batsman and whatever the condition is. Today, I bowled three overs but generally I bowl two overs. I bowled because I took wickets and there was a bit in the wicket for the bowlers. So, it depends on the conditions. If there is swing, It depends on the wicket and conditions," Kumar said.
