Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag is very happy to see Manish Pandey’s half century for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals in Dubai on Thursday. Pandey hit an unbeaten 83 and forged a 140-run undefeated partnership by taking the Sunrisers home over eight wickets. In fact, Sehwag was so impressed with Pandey’s punch that it reminded him of the former swashbuckling hitter from his days or yesteryear.

“Yesterday, Hyderabad made Rajasthan dance to their rhythms and showed them what it is to be a puppet and how nice the puppet is. Pandey ji played an inning like me and destroyed Rajasthan, ”Sehwag said on his YouTube show ‘Viru Ki Baithak’.
“I think he sat and watched all the Veeru Ki Baithak episodes excessively. Good for him. Now you will get a guarantee, Vijay Shankar played a good supporting role and became Vijay ‘Run’ Kar. Now it finally looks like Hyderabad’s middle order and playoff chances have been given CPR. “

That’s right. The loss, RR’s seventh of the season, has severely dented their campaign as they languish at No. 7 on the points table, one run ahead of the Chennai Super Kings, those living at the bottom. Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, moved to fifth place and currently has eight points after four wins.
After the game, Pandey said he was happy to see SRH’s middle order shoot. “There was enough talk about our intermediate order. It is time for us to act. I just wanted to stay at the gate and play my shots. Really happy that it came out today. We had a chance to win the game for SRH, really happy to be here, “said the batter.
