The Kolkata Knight Riders are known to be the side that takes the attack to the opposition right from the word go. When they played against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Hyderabad in the match 37 this season, the KKR camp got the taste of their own medicine. SRH skipper David Warner made an absolute mockery of the KKR bowling lineup. It is worth noting that the bowling lineup of the Knight Riders was not a weak one and boasted of big names like Nathan Coulter-Nile and Sunil Narine.
It was rather some top class batting from Warner, who was well supported by Shikhar Dhawan, that saw Sunrisers Hyderabad get off to a flying start. Warner took the attack to the opposition right from the word go and took very little time to settle at the crease. He reached past his fifty in just 20 deliveries – his fastest fifty this season. His fifty was also the second fastest this season after Chris Lynn’s effort against Gujarat Lions that came off just 19 deliveries.
What stood out among all stats was the fact that he reached his personal milestone in only the 5th over of the innings. Undoubtedly, the knock came out of nowhere for the Knight Riders, who are traditionally known to be partnership breakers in the powerplay overs. The heroic onslaught from David Warner saw the SRH team score propel to 79 in the powerplay.
There was no stopping him even after that. By the end of the 11th over, David Warner had a century to his name. His ton came off just 43 balls with 7 fours and 8 sixes to his name.
The Twitterati absolutely loved the way Warner took the KKR bowlers to the cleaners at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. They could not stop themselves from adoring the magnificent masterly knock and had a lot to talk about it. Here is how the Twitterati got into action after Warner’s solid show:
