After winning the toss, the SRH skipper, Kane Williamson asked the visitors to bat first. However, the hosts started on a rough note as both their openers, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw got dismissed in the first 20 balls itself.

However, before getting out, Munro smashed Sharma for a huge six over long-on.

Bhuvneshwar started with a no-ball but Axar failed to capitalize it even on the free-hit delivery, but on the next ball, when Paul was on the strike, he smashed the pacer for a huge six. It was slower ball outside off and the batsman has really got hold of it o struck it powerfully over deep midwicket.

Bhuvi had his revenge on the very next delivery as he bowled a toe rusher yorker which was right on target this time and it was tailing in on the middle stump which left the batsman hanging back and the umpire gave it LBW. A delivery like this has been missing from Bhuvneshwar’s repertoire for quite some time now.
