\n<\/p>\n

With a Pat Cummins-shaped elephant in the room every time one sits down to dissect a Sunrisers Hyderabad performance, Daniel Vettori has found comfort in the initiative taken by the playing pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very satisfying in those conditions because we know Eden Gardens is a difficult place to defend, much like here,\u201d Vettori said, particularly hailing his youthful spin attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHarsh Dubey and Shivang Kumar played a big part. We identified Harsh last year, and he\u2019s grown as a bowler with consistent success. Shivang was tracked closely by our scouting group, along with Krains (Fuletra) and Zeeshan Ahmed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve put a lot of emphasis on improving that group because spin is tough here, not just for us, but for opposition as well. It\u2019s rare for a spinner to dominate, so having a left-arm wrist-spinner gives us a valuable option.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vettori confirmed that a final scan on April 15 will determine the timeline of Cummins\u2019 return, who has flown back home for the same. In his absence, the Kiwi lauded Jaydev Unadkat\u2019s impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLike Pat, he can bowl at all stages, which is crucial when scoring rates are high. Even if he doesn\u2019t start well, we trust him in the middle and at the death. With Pat unavailable, you can see Ishan using him in different roles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond his on-field utility, Unadkat\u2019s years around the Indian setup have also proven useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s someone you can always talk cricket with. He understands the domestic circuit deeply, and we rely on his insights into players the coaching staff may not have seen much of.\u201d<\/p>\n
