IPL 2016: 5 memorable matches for SRH on their road to the final that don't fade away

#2 Gujarat Lions vs Sunrises Hyderabad

Shikhar Dhawan’s timely half-century helped Hyderabad cross the line

In the very next game, they continued their winning ways and this time it was a desecration of the team that had won all of their first 3 games: Gujarat Lions. The high-flying Lions were brought to a halt by some exceptional bowling from the Sunrisers.

At first, a Bhuvaneshwar-inspired bowling attack bundled Raina’s men for a meagre total of 135. Only the captain could muster up some runs as Raina scored 75 of just 51 balls.

Given David Warner’s penchant for making great starts, the game was lost in the first 6 overs itself—but this time it wasn’t a lone-warrior display from the Australian as Shikhar Dhawan 53 of 41 became the perfect complement to Warner’s 74 of 48. The Sunrises romped through to a 10-wicket win and in the process ended Gujarat's winning run.
