IPL 2019: David Warner crosses 600 runs mark for the third time

Sunrisers Hyderabad star opener David Warner crossed the 600-run mark for the third time in IPL during the match against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

Sunrisers Hyderabad star opener David Warner, on Saturday crossed the 600-run mark for the third time in the Indian Premier League. Warner attained this milestone during the match against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The Aussie southpaw, who did not play in 2018 because of the ball-tampering ban, had amassed 641 runs and 841 runs in year 2017 and year 2016 respectively. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, David Warner has been primarily guiding his squad to victories. Not to forget the outstanding partnerships he has stitched with his opening partner Jonny Bairstow throughout the ongoing tournament. Also, there’s a bit reason of worry for in-form SRH as their opening duo – Warner and Bairstow - will be leaving the tournament mid-way owing to national duty with the World Cup scheduled to start on May 30 in England and Wales. SRH captain Kane Williamson says the departure of the two openers will be a huge loss to the side. “Without a doubt Warner and Bairstow will be big losses, they are world class players. We knew at the start of the tournament that we will lose them at the back end of the tournament and new guys will come in then,” Williamson said. “The two at the top have been doing it all season, hopefully, they can continue, they were outstanding. It's been an absolute pleasure to watch the two at the top hit the ball like that," Williamson said after Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kolkata Knight Riders by nine wickets on Sunday.
