Exceptional death over bowling by Kaul & Bhuvi to protect Kane & Shikhar's effort: Warner

DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Delhi Daredevils by 15 runs in the 21st match of IPL 10, at the Rajiv Gandhi stadium. 

Setting a hefty target of 193, the Hyderabad franchise restricted the visitors courtesy of a phenomenal death over bowling by Siddharth Kaul and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. As reported by cricketcountry, SRH skipper David Warner heaped praise on the duo and thanked the crowd for their immense support.

“Bhuvi [Bhuvneshwar Kumar] was exceptional and Kaul was superb tonight. It’s a challenging tournament and credit to all the fast bowlers for keeping fit. For us batters it’s easy. Thanks to the crowd for the support.” 

Warner also lavished praise on Kane Williamson for racking a 51-ball 89 in the first innings.

“It was an outstanding performance from the guys. Kane played brilliantly and laid the platform for us. Sometimes people miss out on few guys, but they know that it’s just to make sure that we get the right balance. We knew we wanted to keep wickets in hand and that was what exactly Kane and Shikhar did tonight. For us it is about backing ourselves and executing our plans. That is what I ask the guys to do, to come out and give their 100 per cent.”

Sunrisers will play their next game against Rising Pune Supergiants at Pune on April 22.
