Sunrisers Hyderabad lost yet another game in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL). It has been a nightmare of a season for the Hyderabad boys. None of their big players has managed to shine. The experienced middle order of Williamson, Manish Pandey, and Kedar Jadhav has constantly failed to perform this season.

Former South African captain Shaun Pollock, who also played IPL for Mumbai Indians, has criticised the role of Kedar Jadhav in the team. Pollock was really harsh on Jadhav as he even questioned the Indian batsman's selection in the side. “In the batting, David Warner was out of the side, he’s come back in. You can get into bad form. Manish Pandey tried to regroup given the situation but Kedar Jadhav, over all these years… He gets a decent salary to come out and play. We really are still asking - when is his performance coming to justify his continuous selection in the side?" Pollock said on Cricbuzz.

This came after SRH lost to Punjab Kings while chasing a small total of 125 runs. SRH faltered and none of the batsmen showed any will to take their team home. 

We fall short by 5 runs. A valiant effort from Jason Holder.

"It is difficult to pick out one individual but over a space of eight games, surely people need to be producing more than what we’ve seen,” said Pollock.

Pollock maintained that he feels SRH has a strong squad but are not able to perform at their zenith. He mentioned Rashid Khan's greatness as a player and said, “You have Warners, Williamsons. They are a team that has been in the running over the years. It’s not like they have been the whipping boys. They have been in the finals. They were champions in 2016 and they played some unbelievable cricket not so long ago. The players have let the coaching staff down. You can’t get away from that.” 

Pollock then used some harsh words for the SRH team. "You have a relaxed environment, you give them everything that they require. They are paid good money and, at some stage, players have got to start producing the goods," he said.
