Introduction
Before the second phase of the IPL 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a video titled “Rashid speaks” on their official Instagram handle to address all the negative comments that were being directed towards the team and its players.

The concerns that the fans have for the team are genuine. Sunrisers Hyderabad has won only one of the seven matches they have played in the first half of the IPL 2021, and reaching the playoffs from this position will require a group of inspired players playing to their potential. Until this point in the tournament, be it any department, bowling, batting, or fielding, the team has failed to put together consistent performances, which Rashid Khan addressed.
