Elated after managing to keep their playoff hopes alive by beating Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Yusuf Pathan said it would not be too tough to fetch a place inside the top-four from here.
KKR are now fourth in the points table and the top-four at the end of the league stage would make the playoffs.
“I feel good. We have bright chances to be among the top four. This match was very important for us. It feels good that we have continuously won four games and hope to continue with this good performance. Our batting, bowling have been good and all are doing well,” he said after the emphatic seven-wicket win here on Sunday night.
Not consistent Meanwhile, Darren Sammy, who has been given the responsibility to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad, felt that his team has not been consistent in the tournament.
“We have just not been consistent enough. We have not played well in all three disciplines if you take fielding into consideration. In the last game, we batted really well. In this game we did not bat well, but bowled well. So, we have not been consistent,” he said.
He said the SRH would try to win all the remaining three matches to have a mathematical chance of entering the top four in case a few other results go the team’s way.
