It was a tight last over from Bumrah, who conceded just one boundary in that over, smashed off a lofted cover drive by SRH captain Kane Williamson. Bumrah conceded just three more runs in the final four deliveries, the last of which was the dismissal of Sundar - a slower yorker which the batter failed the connect leaving the stumps rattled.

SRH, who were put to bat first at the iconic venue, finished with 193 for 6 with Rahul Tripathi top-scoring for the side with his knock of 76 runs. 

“I enjoyed it a lot. I was practising to open because the franchise told me I would play as an opener this year. The new ball was moving a bit, but the old ball was coming on nicely. I think it is a good total, but we are around 10-15 runs short given where we were at one stage. But with our bowling attack, we have a good score,” said Priyam Garg, who played his first game this season and scored an able 26-ball 42 to get SRH off to a good start.
