Jos Buttler will be key for Rajasthan Royals when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in an afternoon game in Delhi. Both the teams are placed in the bottom half of the points table badly needing to stich up a few wins to bring their campaign back on track. The English World Cup winner says his team has improved gradually, but should now focus on managing the middle part of the innings better, in both departments.

A seven-wicket loss against Mumbai meant the Royals remain seventh in the table with six games played, but a win on Sunday can potentially help them climb up the ladder.

“It’s been a frustrating start to the season for us. We haven’t had the results we would have liked. I think we’ve played well in phases but haven’t been able to put games to bed with bat, ball or in the field,” Buttler said on the eve of their game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The experienced batsman reckons that playing successive afternoon matches might help the Royals. This will be the second successive afternoon game for the Men in Pink.

“We have seen and experienced how the pitch behaved in our last game, and I reckon we have a fair bit of an idea as to what to expect from the conditions now. The pitch looks like it can pretty much remain the same throughout the 40 overs, so we are confident we can take the learnings from our last match and apply ourselves to the best of our abilities tomorrow,” he added.

Jos Buttler further added that they are wary of Sunrisers Hyderabad as a side and that they will need to bring their best game against the side. 

SRH A Strong Team: Jos Buttler

“The Sunrisers have a really strong team. They’ve got some fantastic players, the likes of Rashid Khan, Warner, and Williamson. We know that on their day they can be one of the best teams in the competition, and we will be wary of that” concluded Buttler.
