Ashwin was frustrated with the way Sunrisers Hyderabad batters kept throwing away their wickets while chasing a massive target of 244 runs against Rajasthan Royals. The former Indian all-rounder even suggested that the SRH team management may now have to seriously think about Travis Head’s future after his average performances this season. Head managed 410 runs at a strike rate of 170.

Ravichandran Ashwin blasts Sunrisers Hyderabad for reckless batting after Eliminator disaster
After SRH’s crushing defeat, Ravichandran Ashwin said that Pat Cummins’ team lost the match because of poor game awareness and careless batting in such a high-pressure knockout clash. He felt the team was actually in a strong position early in the chase, but the batters made things difficult for themselves by playing reckless shots against the strong RR attack.
The former spinner slammed the way Ishan and Head lost their wickets. He felt they should have handled the pressure better instead of gifting away their wickets.
Ashwin added, “Ishan threw his wicket away. There was absolutely no meaning to playing such a shot in such a big match. It was a very poor shot. Travis Head has not performed at all this season. The management definitely needs to think about Travis Head. He should have played more responsibly. There was no point in getting out by playing such a poor shot.”
Ashwin says SRH threw away winning chance with poor game awareness vs RR
Nitish played a fighting knock of 38 runs, while Salil Arora added 35, but they had no support from the other end, resulting in the team facing crushing defeat against RR.
Ashwin signed off by saying, “SRH was still in the match until the 14th over when Nitish Kumar Reddy was batting. But if you keep losing so many wickets, you can never chase such a huge total. If SRH had shown a little more game awareness and played with calmer minds, they could have won this match comfortably. Honestly, it was a very poor batting performance from the SRH team.”
