IPL 2021: ‘We’re not like other teams because we don’t show off or brag about ourselves,’ claims SRH wicketkeeper

Sunrisers Hyderabad is undoubtedly one of the strongest sides of the Indian Premier League (IPL), yet they go unnoticed by many. With the likes of David Warner, Kane Williamson and Jonny Bairstow, Jason Holder, and Rashid Khan, SRH is always a difficult side to beat. 

Meanwhile, the Orange Army’s wicketkeeper-batsman Shreewats Goswami said that SRH is not like other teams because they don’t show off or brag about themselves. The David Warner-led side emerged as one of the top four sides in the last season as well. However, their best result came in 2016 where they lifted the trophy after beating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the finals.

“The biggest strength of Sunrisers Hyderabad is that we go about our jobs quietly and calmly. We’re not like other teams because we don’t show off or brag about ourselves. We just calmly play the game,” Goswami told ESPNCricinfo.

Interestingly, Sheewats Goswami was Virat Kohli’s teammate during India’s victorious 2008 Under-19 World Cup campaign. The 31-year also told that it’s always special to play against MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings in IPL. 

“I haven’t had that many opportunities to play in the IPL so picking one team is tough because I’d like to play against any team. But if you make me pick one, I’ll pick Royal Challengers Bangalore, since it was the first team I played for in the IPL, and I like playing at the Chinnaswamy Stadium,” he explained.

 “I like playing against everyone, no one in particular. But it is definitely special to play against (MS) Dhoni. Chennai Super Kings is a good team too, so it’s good playing against them,” the left-handed batsman added.
