Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has finally opened their account in terms of winning in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Wednesday as they registered Punjab Kings in low-scoring games. Chasing the second-lowest target of the 14th edition of the IPL, SRH openers Jonny Bairstow and David Warner laid a solid platform with their 73-run partnership after which Kane Williamson joined the action. However, it was the Wicket celebration of Fabian Allen that garnered a lot of attention on social media.
Along with Williamson, Bairstow guided the team to victory in the 19th over with the unbroken second-wicket partnership which lasted for 48 runs. The win helped SRH register their first points this season and go past KKR from the 5th position on the table.

However, a lot of credit for their win goes to SRH’s bowlers, who had a phenomenal outing in the first half of the game, especially by Khaleel Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma. Punjab’s batsmen never managed to get going as they kept losing wickets right from the start with captain KL Rahul suffering a rare failure, who was departed after scoring just 4 runs in the 4th over of the innings bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Khaleel then joined the action and removed Mayank Agarwal before getting the late wickets of Shahrukh Khan and Fabian Allen in the death overs to help SRH bowl out PBKS for 120 in 19.4 overs. Abhishek Sharma bowled a brilliant spell in the middle overs by sending back the in-form Deepak Hooda (13) and Moises Henriques (14).
