A bit of controversy before Dhawan wicket.
There was a buzzer which is hit generally played for a Free hit. Warner makes that known to the umpire. #IPL2015 #SRHvRR

Faulkners role in RR – perfectly defined!
Faulkner’s other role in the team is to make sure the opposition scores enough runs so that he can later finish it with the bat. #IPL
