IPL 2017: Twitter Reacts As Kane Williamson And Shikhar Dhawan Fire SRH To Big Total Against DD 1

Riding on Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan’s half-centuries, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a mammoth 191 for 4 in the allotted 20 overs against Delhi Daredevils .

The defending champions went off to a poor start with their in-form skipper David Warner departing after scoring just 4. But Shikhar Dhawan and Williamson then took care of the innings and sent the Delhi bowlers on a leather hunt with a massive partnership of 136 runs. Williamson, who replaced Mohammad Nabi in the playing eleven, was surprisingly the more aggressive batsman while his partner Dhawan was looking content by playing  the second-fiddle.

Williamson completed his fifty in only 33 balls while Dhawan reached the 50-run mark in 40 balls. The partnership was finally broken when a Williamson was dismissed by Chris Morris. The New Zealand skipper scored 89 runs off just 51 balls with the help of six fours and 5 maximums. Dhawan then hit some big shots  to keep the scoreboard ticking before offering a catch to Angelo Mathews to depart for 70. Deepak Hooda and Moises Henriques then scored 17 runs off the final over to help the title-holders close their innings on a strong note.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Williamson’s knock and the SRH innings:
