Sehwag was impressed with the way Manish Pandey batted throughout the chase.
Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag shared his review of Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) easy win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday (October 22). SRH chased down the target of 155 runs in just 18.1 overs with 8 wickets in hand.
It was Manish Pandey who looked flawless from the starting of his innings and scored an unbeaten 83 to seal the match. All-rounder Vijay Shankar stood by him and added 52* runs in their match-winning partnership of 140 runs.

Sehwag lauded Manish for his knock and also added that SRH always had the hold in the game which made Rajasthan dance on their tunes like a puppet. "Yesterday, Hyderabad made Rajasthan dance to their beats and showed them what it's like to be a puppet as well as how enjoyable puppetry is. Pandeyji played an innings like me and wrecked Rajasthan," Sehwag said on his show 'Viru ki Baithak'.
The ex-India cricketer also commented on Shankar's knock and added, "I think he sat and binge-watched all the Veeru Ki Baithak episodes. Good for him. Now he will get a warranty, Vijay Shankar played a good supporting role and became Vijay 'Run' Kar."
SRH had lost three consecutive matches and they needed a win urgently to revive their playoffs chances. "Now it finally seems like Hyderabad's middle order and their playoff chances have both been given CPR," Sehwag said.
