Hyderabad, April 30: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper David Warner wreaked havoc upon Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers as he notched up a century off just 43 deliveries in the Indian Premier League match on Sunday (April 30).
It was the Australian's third IPL hundred as he looked in a menacing touch from the word go. He became first SRH batsman to do so.
Batting in front of a full house Hyderabad crowd, Warner took on the onslaught against Kolkata bowlers.
Warner completed his hundred in the 11th over and put everyone in his awe. He smashed eight sixes and 7 fours in his hundred-run knock.
After losing the toss to Gautam Gambhir, Warner started things off in style and took every bowler to cleaners. He put up a hundred run opening stand with Shikhar Dhawan to give his team a flying start.
Here's how cricketers and experts reacted on Twitter after watching Warner's onslaught:
