IPL 2022: Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody defends playing out-of-form Kane Williamson as opener
Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody has defended playing captain Kane Williamson as an opener despite the batsman's ongoing run drought in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Williamson's tally of 208 runs from 12 matches has come at a strike rate of 92.85, the worst among batsmen with a minimum of 100 runs this season. In Saturday's match against Kolkata Knight Riders, the New Zealand captain managed just nine off 17 balls, but Moody said he was against tinkering with the Hyderabad middle order, which had been working well for them. "Rahul Tripathi has batted exceptionally well at number three and (Aiden) Markram has been one of the leading batters in the tournament at four," Moody said after their defeat by Kolkata in Pune. "So, we felt why change something that's working for something that's not working. We have trusted Kane with his quality, there's no question of his world-class quality. So, that's why we haven't made that move because as we have seen throughout the tournament where the batting has been functioning really well."

IPL 2022, KKR vs SRH: Kolkata Knight Riders keep their slim hopes intact with win over Sunrisers Hyderabad
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.
