Jonny Bairstow, with a quickfire 48 (28b, 9X4, 1X6), backed up a disciplined and effective bowling effort by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to help the side chase down a target of 130 and register a five-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Feroz🌱 Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi on Thursday.
The win has helped the Orange Army to leapfrog to the top of the points table.
Before Bairstow’s blitz, stand-in skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Nabi and Siddarth Kaul took two wickets each to set up the win for Hyderabad as they restricted Delhi to 129/8 in 20 overs.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
So wonderful to see Jonny Bairstow carrying his great run of form, Nabi , playing an important role with both bat and baꦰll. Another very satisf♓ying win for the . May we continue with this winning momentum.

Earlier൲ SRH had just one Warner, now they have two. This one bats right handed & is called Jonny Bairstow.🦹👏👏👏

SRH best side in the IPL. In that context, this was a sub-par performance in spite of th⛦e win

If you want to figure out how strong Sunrisers' bowling line-up is: they've got India international Khaleel Ahmed and the world's No. 1 allrounder Shakib Al Hasan, warming the bench.

6 – Palani Amarnath (CSK, 2008)— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats)
SRH are on a roll and have won it comprhensively riding on with Nabi's all round performance and Bairstow's knock set up the chase. But Delhi struggled today as the batters have failed to put runs on the board but the bowlers did well to an extent which wasn't enough.
