IPL 10, Match 37, Sunrisers Hyderabad v Kolkata Knight Riders – Statistical Highlights

David Warner launched an assault over the Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday night in front of a 34 thousand strong home crowd smashing 126 off just 59 balls. After his catch was dropped early in the innings, he flooded by smashing boundaries and huge sixes. Rain tried to spoil the play during the KKR innings but it didn’t damage the outfield as much as Warner had done to KKR’s chances of winning the game.

It is safe to say Warner defeated KKR alone as the visitors managed to score just 161 against an all round Sunrisers bowling attack, 35 more than what Warner scored by playing half the overs of his team.  Here are all the statistical highlights of the one-sided affair.
