Kumble8217;s counterpart Adam Gilchrist said the win proved that the Hyderabad outfit has improved after the five consecutive loses.
8220;Its great to win. It kept us alive. We have shown 90 per cent improved performance but 10 per cent still to go,8221; Gilchrist said.
8220;Suman was brilliant and as a group we have improved but there are still things to look into,8221; he said.
8220;The morale of the team is high even after those defeats. The boys stuck together,8221; he added.
Man-of-the-match Suman said his game plan was to guide the Deccan run chase.
8220;My plan was to bat till the end and if the ball was there to be hit to go for my shots. I knew that if I bat till the end with Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds in the line-up we will achieve the target,8221; he said.
