The second week of IPL is living up to its reputation of being an incredible league. Between Monday and Thursday, there have been four back-to-back last-ball thrillers.

'Can't Put Up A Score Of 170-190': Harbhajan Singh Blasts This IPL Winning Team

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh doubts if the SunRisers Hyderabad batting line-up has strength and potential to put up a score of 170 or 190. SRH are yet to win a game this IPL season. For a team that finished at the eighth spot in the last two editions, SRH would have hoped for a better start to the season but they ended up suffering two crushing defeats. They started with a 72-run loss against Rajasthan Royals and then received a 5-wicket thrashing from Lucknow Super Giants in their second game. A poor show with the bat despite some exciting players in the line-up is the prime reason behind their failure. Sunrisers' struggles to build partnership saw them score 131 and 121 in their first two matches.
