Brad Hogg believes that like last year, SRH still depend heavily on Jonny Bairstow and skipper David Warner to score the bulk of runs for them and if the duo fails, the team gets into a lot of trouble.
SRH were cruising to victory with just 43 runs required off the last 5 overs. However, as soon as Yuzvendra Chahal was brought back into the attack, he struck twice in two balls. Bairstow’s wicket triggered a stunning batting collapse where SRH lost their remaining 8 wickets for just 32 runs.
Brad Hogg believes that SRH’s middle order is really weak and added that they need to work on it as soon as possible. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said:

Brad Hogg also spoke about Devdutt Padikkal and admitted that he was impressed with his debut for RCB. The young southpaw scored 56 runs off just 42 balls, including 8 fours, and ensured that RCB got off to a great start with the bat. However, he struggled with balls that were short of length.
The 49-year-old believes that Padikkal will have to work on this weakness because other bowlers might target him in upcoming matches.
