Sunrisers Hyderabad’s heavy loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in the 15th game of the ongoing IPL 2025 has raised serious questions about Pat Cummins’ captaincy. Despite getting early breakthroughs, Sunrisers Hyderabad allowed KKR to bounce back and pile up 200 runs, which proved far too much for them to chase.

Pat Cummins' captaincy is looking weak to me: Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif said on Star Sports, “The batting is not working, and so is the case with bowling. You are also losing terribly. It's very difficult to come back from here. You will expect them to come with some plans because neither is Cummins able to bowl nor is Shami picking up wickets.
Mohammad Kaif also feels that Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batters are struggling to live up to the hype they created last season, saying the pressure of high expectations is affecting their performances, especially when chasing big totals.
They are stuck badly, the road ahead is tough for SRH: Mohammad Kaif
Kaif pointed out that teams have figured out specific plans to keep players like Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma in check. He noted that the bowlers are now using slower deliveries and short balls to limit Abhishek’s impact, while Head is being tested with fuller deliveries.
Kaid signed off by saying, “I believe they are under pressure because of what they did last year. When you are under the spotlight that Hyderabad would score 300 or 250 this time, it's very difficult to repeat it under that pressure. They are stuck badly. Both the bowling and batting are out of form. The road ahead is tough.”
