The season opener of the Indian Premier League was definitely a huge anti-climax. Unfazed by the loss to Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad raised like defending warriors. If it was Bairstow to start off for them, his opening partner David Warner ran riot to bat through the innings in the game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The SRH have posted a mammoth total of 231 runs after they were put in to bat first by Virat Kohli. Post- first innings by SRH the flurry of wickets didn’t stop as RCB kept throwing away wickets on a surface that required quite a bit of patience. Their most prized overseas pick in this year’s auction, Hetmyer came as an opener and out for just 9. The maximum number of batsmen left with single digits including Kohli and AB Devillers.
Hence, the rigors of being an RCB fan is quite understandable. Frustrated by his team’s poor showing this year too, RCB fans are getting very disappointed.
