After being put in to bat by Royal Challengers captain Virat Kohli, SRH started their innings in a normal fashion with David Warner going after the bowlers from the word go. However, the hosts soon experienced a role-reversal as Bairstow started to take control of the innings with Warner playing the unusual anchor role.

After crossing the 50-run mark, Bairstow didn’t seem to settle down for a bit. Attacking each and every bowler to all parts of the ground, Bairstow upped the ante at will. On the first ball of the 16th over, the 29-year old batsman ran a couple of runs off Burman to complete his maiden IPL century.

Before getting out to RCB leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the following over, Bairstow ended up scoring 114 (56) with the help of 12 fours and seven sixes. Bairstow was awarded the Man of the Match for scoring his maiden IPL century.

“Really pleased. Delighted to get off to the start and get a few runs today,” Bairstow was quoted as saying during the post-match presentation ceremony.
