2. The Warner-Bairstow opening partnership

Among the biggest positives to come out of IPL 2019 so far has to be Sunrisers Hyderabad's new opening partnership of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow.
One player is coming back after a gap of one year, and looks extremely hungry and eager to score runs and make his presence felt. The other one is playing in his first ever IPL and is certainly making it count. And we as fans watching the IPL are not at all complaining!
It was a batting masterclass when two players with such amazing talent went about surgically destroying RCB the other day.
Both the openers are clear about their roles and have executed them perfectly thus far. Bairstow's wicket-keeping has also been very good, making him indispensable for SRH this IPL.
Clearly they will up be against a better bowling unit tonight led by Kagiso Rabada. But the two of them are coming off a 185-run opening partnership, and DC must remove them early if they do not want to be chasing leather for a majority of the innings.
