Skipper David Warner felt Sunrisers Hyderabad were were probably 20-30 runs short in the loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing Indian Premier League on Saturday.
Dasun Shanaka is their 10th captain in nearly five years, and barring a classy batsman like Dhananjaya de Silva and a steady pacer in Dishmantha Chameera, this team lacks quality to challenge the might of the Indian team led by Shikhar Dhawan.
For Hyderabad, KXIP encounter is the last game where they can avail the services of Warner before he leaves home for Australia's World Cup preparations alongside Steven Smith and Marcus Stoinis.
It will not be the first time that the competition has had to be held outside India.
