Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling consultant Muttiah Muralitharan is hopeful that his experience working with Trevor Bayliss will help the team a lot in the upcoming season of the IPL. The spinner is also looking forward to working with Bayliss.”I know him, he had coached me as well for four years in Sri Lanka. We know each other and I think it is a new addition and it is a different way of thinking.”In the last seven years, Tom (Moody) was very good with us, and hopefully, Trevor Bayliss will do a better job,” Muralitharan said in a video shared by the franchise on its official Twitter handle.
Murali is one of the game’s greatest and added that the franchise wants to give chances to youngsters this season. The squad has five youngsters this year, namely Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma, Khaleel Ahmad, Priyam Garg and Sanjay Yadav. “This year we went with very young talent because we are looking at giving opportunities to the youngsters and try to get the best out of them,” Muralitharan said. “When I come to training, without bowling it will be boring so I thought to give them a hand because there are not as many net bowlers. We had to bring net bowlers from India,” he added. The side is eagerly waiting for their English and Australian players David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Jonny Bairstow who are currently playing a limited over series in England and will fly directly to UAE after that.
“Boys are training very hard and we are looking forward to the big guns to come, they are yet to come. We are looking forward to the first match.” It is something different for us because we have never played a cricket game without fans. “So, definitely we are going to miss the fans, and hopefully, all the fans will be supporting us through the TV and give all the good blessings for the SunRisers. Hopefully, we will win this tournament,” he said.
