It looked like in-form Jonny Bairstow batter on a different Feroze Shah Kotla wicket and the rest of the batsmen from the Delhi Capitals (DC) as well as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) played on a different pitch. Even as others struggled to find form, Bairstow hit a 28-ball 48 to ensure that there was no coming back for DC in the match.

Speaking after the game on Thursday, Bairstow credited the bowlers for guiding him on how to go about his innings. He also felt that it was a good toss to win as batting became slightly easier in the second innings.
