Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batting coach as well as West Indies legend Brian Lara is excited about the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The veteran recently interacted with the Hyderabad-based franchise’s players during a training session and gave them some valuable insights of the game as well as he wants the SRH batters to have a clear idea of their roles and responsibilities for IPL 2022. He said that the clarity in the thought process will help him get the best out of the team as well.

In a video posted by Sunrisers Hyderabad on YouTube, Brian Lara said: “Very excited about the prospects of the season coming up. In terms of the batting aspect of it, I would like us to have a bit of a storyline where we go out as a team and the openers have a particular job. The No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and right through the innings we know what to expect from each player in different situations.”

He again opined: “All these youngsters, it is very important to get them involved and get them to understand what their responsibilities are. In the nets a lot of aggression is pretty cool but in the middle I would like to see it mixed with a bit of thinking upstairs.”

However, Brian Lara stated that if the batters show presence of mind in the nets, it will help them do well against world-class bowlers on the field. Meanwhile, SRH will play their IPL 2022 first game against the Rajasthan Royals at the MCA Stadium in Pune on March 29.

“Net bowlers is one thing but when you have world-class bowlers when the tournament starts, you need to have that mindset in the nets as well. Pretty impressed with what I have seen so far,” Brian Lara concluded.
