Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: As Punjab Kings suffered their second loss of the season after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, their spin-bowling coach Sunil Joshi said they had their chances in the high-scoring slugfest but failed to capitalise on them. After three wins in four matches, PBKS were looking to climb up the standings but suffered an eight-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Despite showcasing their aggressive batting style and posting 245/6 on the board, the Kings fell short on the bowling front as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down the target with 9 balls remaining.

Reflecting on the match, Sunil Joshi said, “I think the positive to take away from this match is that our batters are definitely in great form. The bowling, however, needs to improve, and we need to increase our dot-ball percentage. That's what we missed while bowling today on this wicket. On a good wicket, the only difference could be the dot-ball percentage in the middle overs. So that's the key, and we couldn't latch on to half of the chances."
