Last year, he probably, by his own admission, didn\u2019t quite play at the level that he would expect. It was a really good learning year for him. But we\u2019ve seen him bounce back early in this edition and hopefully he can maintain that form throughout,\u201d the former Kiwi cricketer observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pace is definitely up from last year and the way that he\u2019s planning his overs, the way that he\u2019s sequencing his balls to the different batters is really helping him. He\u2019s in a really good frame of mind at the moment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin also urged for patience with the likes of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain. Praful began his IPL career with a bang as he scalped four for 34 against Rajasthan Royals, but was then hammered for 60 runs in four overs by Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPraful will learn from every experience,\u201d Franklin stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Apr 20, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/nitish-kumar-reddy-sunrisers-hyderabad-srh-bowling-james-franklin-ipl-2026-form-cricket-news\/article70885404.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nitish Kumar Reddy has embraced greater prominence with the ball for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
