It was all down to a few good deliveries, said Sunrisers Hyderabad assistant coach Simon Helmot as he tried to explain his team&rsquo;s poor batting performance in the final against <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/some-contributions-go-unnoticed-23351480" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, conceding that the plan to be aggressive fell flat quite early in the match.
