For Sunrisers Hyderabad, a six-day break after suffering four straight losses could have been just what the doctor prescribed to make a serious introspection and get the act right to avoid being left far behind in the hunt for a place in the play-offs of the IPL.
So, when the former champions, Sunrisers, take on a confident Shreyas Iyer-led
Punjab Kings in a must win game at home on Saturday here at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Pat Cummins should be looking for a complete all-round performance to regain the winning formula.
For, another defeat for Sunrisers in what can be the most crucial league match certainly means an extremely daunting task for his team to look ahead with optimism.
