He has bagged 12 wickets in eight matches this season so far.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Daniel Vettori has applauded the Gujarat Titans (GT) spinner Sai Kishore for his impressive run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 so far. He also revealed that the SRH management wanted to add the 28-year-old to their squad ahead of this season.
“Sai Kishore has been the pick. He’s been fantastic. He was a guy that we looked at very closely in the auction and wanted him in the team,” Vettori stated after SRH’s match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) last night.
The former New Zealand all-rounder highlighted Kishore’s skills and suggested other spinners learn those techniques from him. He also stressed that he could perform well for India in white-ball cricket in the future.
“He’s very brave. He has the ability to turn the ball, change his pace over and around the wicket. I think it sets up a template for other spinners to see how you can actually compete and succeed. He’s done it on good batting wickets as well. He has all the attributes of a very good limited overs bowler,” observed Vettori.
Notably, Kishore has bagged 12 wickets in eight matches for GT in this edition at an impressive economy of 8.22.
