Sunrisers Hyderabad stand-in skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar felt that IPL 2022 was a `challenging season` as he got constantly hampered by injuries. Blistering knock of 49* runs by Liam Livingstone and a quick 19 by Jitesh Sharma helped Punjab Kings to register a five wickets victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last league match of IPL 2022 at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

"Have had many positives, Umran Malik and Abhishek Sharma were the obvious positives, but we have a decent core of batting with Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran coming up pretty well. As for me, it was a challenging season with injuries hampering me, thought I did a decent job and will look to come back better in the next season," said Bhuvneshwar in a post-match presentation.
