[IPL]- Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper David Warner: ”Our death bowling is probably the best in the competition.”
With Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan in the bowling line-up and David Warner and Jonny Bairstow opening the batting, the Sunrisers Hyderabad unit looks well balanced, and skipper Warner thinks his teams’ secret weapon is the bowling.
“We have an outstanding team. We have great complexities in our bowling, which is one of the best things about our team,” Warner said with Bairstow in an Instagram live.“We got good swing bowling upfront, and our death bowling is probably the best in the competition.”
Although the team also boasts batsmen of Kane Williamson’s caliber, Warner’s partnership with Bairstow at the top of the innings was something that stood out. It reflected on the 2019 edition of the IPL, and Warner said he enjoys the friendship they share in the middle.
“I love running between wickets, and I think our strength running between the wickets is incredible. I know how good your skill and consciousness of the game is. It’s one of my favorite things to do and a strong point for us,” he said.
Bairstow, who in the last edition was just as lethal with the bat as Warner, repeated the feelings and said: “Yeah, there’s undoubtedly an understanding between us. When it’s two runs that we don’t have to look at, it’s touch and go.
“And that started early, and we got twos when we didn’t have the right to get them. You put pressure on opponents like that, and then it relieves the pressure on us.”
While teams would ideally have been playing the IPL’s 13th edition at this point, the coronavirus outbreak has seen all sporting activities either postponed or canceled.
