Kolkata: Despite encountering repeated queries about his age these days, Sunrisers Hyderabad left-arm seamer Ashish Nehra remains a fierce competitor. Talking about the match he pointed out where the defending champions could have done better.


"The spell by Kuleep (Yadav) and (Sunil) Narine was the turning point. We could have played spin better. We could have done better with choosing the bowlers (to hit). On this wicket, 173 wasn’t a big target," he said, adding: "It’s early in the tournament so there’s no need to panic."


He was all praise for Bhuvneshwar Kumar who picked three wickets and said: "People thought he’s only a new ball bowler but Bhuvi has been one of the best death bowlers, and especially in this format, he is very effective."
