Twitter Hails Rashid Khan’s Heroics After Sunrisers Conquer Royals

Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday, 29 March. David Warner’s 69 overshadowed Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 102 as SRH bagged their first win of the season.

Warner along with Jonny Bairstow (45) added a 110-run stand for the first wicket as they laid the perfect platform for chasing a big score.

Vijay Shankar’s 35 run innings provided the innings the much-needed momentum that it needed as Rashid Khan (15 off 8) and Yusuf Pathan (16 off 12) won the game for their side.

Twitter made a special mention for Rashid Khan who won the Man of the Match award overshadowing even Warner and Samson’s innings. Here are some of the best tweets on the game.

Great effort from the boys to come back strongly after the last game and register the @SunRisers ‘ highest ever successful run chase in the IPL. Top class bowling from Rashid & some brilliant strokeplay from Warner, Bairstow & Vijay Shankar. May we keep up this momentum #SRHvRR pic.twitter.com/jPIhzk5F9f

Sunny spot on reminding us about the all-round skills; not just the bowling excellence of Rashid Khan. David Warner was in beast mode tonight and his running with Bairstow, electric!! That was impressive from @SunRisers .

"I just tried my best to mix up my five legspinners."

Rashid Khan, calm af, letting us know he has five variants of the legbreak.
