The latest season of IPL has already kicked-off and tournament giants Sunrisers Hyderabad have started on a winning note. The star of the match was Shikhar Dhawan who scored a blistering 77 to take his team home comfortably against Rajasthan Royals. The match was a lop-sided affair and some of the Sunrisers players didn’t even get a chance to show their skill on the park. One such player was SRH new recruit Yusuf Pathan, who in the past seasons had proved his mettle as a T20 player.
Yusuf Pathan said “It is not at all difficult for me to adjust into the new setup. When you play a sport professionally, you have to make these adjustments. I am looking forward to put my step forward and give it my best. SRH has a good legacy and I hope I can contribute to team’s success this season.”
It is just not him alone who has made the move from KKR to SRH, but has the company of Manish Pandey and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan. Not to forget Deepak Hooda who plays with Pathan at the domestic level. Yusuf feels that the presence of these players will make his job easy as they know each other’s game well. SRH has always been thorough in their approach since the team was formed in 2013. Yusuf feels that one of the key reasons for their success has been that they concentrate on giving it their best on the field, and not think about the opposition.
