Warner, Kumar crush Gujarat

Skipper David Warner hit a blistering, unbeaten 74 after Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a superb death-over spells to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad to a 10-wicket victory over the Gujarat Lions in their Indian Premier League match in Rajkot yesterday. 

Shikhar Dhawan (53) partnered Warner in an unbeaten opening stand of 137 after Hyderabad won the toss and restricted Gujarat to 135 for eight, thanks to Kumar's four for 29. 

Earlier, Gujarat skipper Suresh Raina hit a 51-ball 75, but the late strikes from Kumar and the stingy partnership he formed with Mustafizur Rahman kept Gujarat to a below-par score.
