For those of you who thought Sunrisers Hyderabad was heavily dependent
on its bowlers to win them matches, Shikhar Dhawan and skipper Kane
Williamson have proved them wrong.
Chasing a stiff target of 188 runs against Delhi Daredevils on Thursday May 10,2018, Hyderabad went over the finish line just 18.5 overs, with 9 wickets to spare.
The Dhawan-Williamson duo
strung together a partnership of 176 runs, which is their highest for
any wicket since the team was formed in 2013.
Prior to this effort, the highest partnership for the outfit came in 2017, when openers David Warner and Dhawan scored 139 runs together, in a match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
But this effort by Dhawan and Williamson in no where close to
highest-ever partnership in IPL history. That record belongs to Royal
Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, who strung a
partnership of 229 against Gujarat Lions in 2016.
