'Not thinking too much ahead'

Published on: 

Sunrisers Hyderabad mentor VVS laxman on Sunday said they are not thinking much about their play-off chances and trying to focus on executing the plans properly against Mumbai Indians here on Monday.

"We are not thinking too much about the points table. We just want to take each game as it comes," laxman said.

"We know that our next game against Mumbai Indians is an important game. Once we execute our plans, I am sure we will get the desired results," he said.

Hyderabad, currently placed fourth on the points table with 13 points, need to win its remaining two matches to completely seal their play-offs berth.

SRH, the defending champion, had lost to Delhi Daredevils by six wickets at New Delhi but what hurt them most was their 12-run loss to Rising Pune Supergiants at home yesterday. It was their first home defeat of the season.

The Hyderabad team takes on Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad on Monday. Asked about Ashish Nehra, who left the field on Saturday apparently due to discomfort in the hamstring, he said the injury was being assessed.
