Thomas Cup show increases its popularity stakesHYDERABAD: India's splendid feat of storming into the Thomas Cup final has stunned many across the world. While the Indian fans are celebrating this monumental occasion, the scale of this victory will be understood only by serious followers of the game. Winning individual titles is different but doing well in team events like Thomas Cup indicates the depth of the Indian squad.
AS IT HAPPENEDThe road ahead became more difficult for SRH as they suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. However, the SRH bowling unit, back to its full strength with the return of T Natarajan, Marco Jansen and Washington Sundar, should also get credit for making good use of the yorker to keep the KKR big-hitters quiet after they opted to bat first on winning the toss. But it was the 66 run sixth-wicket stand between Sam Billings and Andre Russell that actually made the difference and saw KKR putting up a fighting score of 177 for six. The West Indian all-rounder Russell came good with the ball too, finishing with three for 22.

"The mindset we came up in this game, it was outstanding. All the boys did the right things, played fearless cricket. Everything panned out really well," Iyer said after the match. "We have nothing to lose now. We haven't played our A-game yet, that's what I spoke today before the game," Iyer said.
