5 Best knocks by David Warner for Sunrisers Hyderabad

#1 93* (58) vs GL: Qualifier 2 (2016) at Delhi

Warner single-handedly won the game for SRH

Perhaps one of the best T20 innings till date, this explosive knock by Warner ensured the Sunrisers found a place in 2016 final, which they eventually won.

Coming off a comfortable win against KKR in the Eliminator, Warner and his men found a stiffer opponent in Gujarat Lions in the second Qualifier at the Feroz Shah Kotla.

Following yet another credible performance by the Sunrisers bowlers, Gujarat were restricted to a sub-par 162.

Hyderabad's chase got off to a horrendous start as they lost Shikhar Dhawan with only six on the board. Skipper Warner held the innings together, forging brief partnerships, even as the team lost three wickets in the span of four overs to be reduced to 84 for five.

With Naman Ojha falling briefly after, the Sunrisers were down and out - reeling at 117 for six, with only the bowlers to give Warner company. Unexpectedly though, this would be the last Sunrisers wicket to fall.

Warner found an amazingly atypical ally in left-arm tweaker Bipul Sharma, whose willow had never been in the scheme of things for the team.

When Sharma came in, Hyderabad required 46 off 25 deliveries, but thanks to some big hitting from both the southpaws, they romped home with four balls to spare.

It was almost poetic that Warner got the innings underway with a boundary off the first ball of the innings, and finished the chase himself in the final over.

The Gujarat bowlers found no answers to Warner's superlative knock of 93*(58), which was laced with 11 hits to the fence, and three over it.

Brief Scores: GL 162/7 (Finch 50, Cutting 2/20) lost to SRH 163/6 (Warner 93, Kaushik 2/22)
