Sir — In a tournament where the batsmen hogged most of the spotlight, it was refreshing to see a team that takes pride in its bowling attack, bag the top honours. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s maiden triumph emphasised that in a format that’s made for batsmen, bowlers still have a big role to play.
It’s no use packing the team just with batsmen or even all-rounders. One has to pick a couple of good bowlers as well. That specialist bowlers and team balance are key to a winning performance in any format is an important message for all Indian Premier league teams
