If you are a youngster who’s learning the basics of running between the wickets, you should not look beyond this opening partnership of how they are doing it to perfection. These two have shown that its not only about fours and sixes albeit in the shortest form of the game.

The fact that both run incredibly fast between the wickets has also helped this partnership blossom. When both Warner and Bairstow got hundreds in one game against RCB at home, they ran more than 10 two’s in that sweltering heat (day game) along with smashing fours and sixes. It talks a lot about their fitness and more importantly match awareness.

Most successful teams know how to make use of the home conditions and Sunrisers openers have done just that in Hyderabad. One of the bigger grounds in this IPL, Warner and Bairstow have made use of that and have converted the ones into two’s on many occasions that have caught the opposition fielders unawares.
