Pat Cummins admits batting strong suit but won't work every time after SRH stunned by 35-run loss | IPL

The high-cruising Sunrisers Hyderabad were stunned by Royal Challengers Bengaluru after the visitors defeated them by 35 runs in Hyderabad on Thursday.

Chasing 207, Sunrisers Hyderabad's ultra aggressive approach with the bat backfired as they were 69-5 in 8th over and couldn't recover thereafter.

"Not an ideal night. Few over par with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets throughout our innings. We were gonna bat first, it seems to be working for us. Before the last few wins, we were thinking that we were a bowl-first team," Pat Cummins, SRH captain, said.

"The boys have been going really well, it's T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game. Don't dwell on this too much."

Talking about their high risk and high reward approach with the bat, Cummins said: "I think it's our strong suit. It's not going to work every game. One or two games where it hasn't gone our way at the start, we still managed to get a good total. Still think this is the way forward for our boys."
