For the past few seasons, David Warner shouldered most the batting responsibility of the top order. All he needed was a partner who could bat like him and take some pressure off. He found that this year in Jonny Bairstow.

Bairstow had an incredible debut season this year. Right from the start of the season, he looked in great form. He was aggressive and scored quick runs during the power play overs. He played 10 matches this seasons for SRH and scored 445 runs at an average of 55.62. He also scored one century and two half centuries.

His hundred against the Royal Challengers Bangalore will be remembered as one of the best knocks in IPL history.

It’s too bad that Bairstow had to leave the tournament midway, but left a long lasting impression on the tournament. His partnership with Warner was spectacular to watch and both men looked unstoppable. Bairstow will remain a big asset for SRH in the years to follow.
