Jonny Bairstow IPL Career

This talented wicket-keeper batsman debuted in the IPL in 2019 and was bought in auction by Sunrisers Hyderabad with a booking price of INR 1.5 crore for the season. Bairstow’s debut in the IPL season was outstanding as he scored about 445 runs in total, and a century, at an average of 63.57. His pairing with David Warner soon became one of the deadliest and reliable opening combinations. However, he had to leave IPL 2019 because of his commitment to the England team to join them for the camp for the World Cup and other series with Pakistan and Australia. Moreover, the extremely talented wicket-keeper batsman always made his innings appraisable, whether it was scoring 80 runs against KKR 2019 IPL or others. This right-hand batsman always maintained his form and gave his team a brilliant opening with a strike rate of over 158. These worthy performances made Bairstow again a part of Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2020 where he was auctioned for INR 2.20 cr.

This season, Sunrisers Hyderabad played their first match against Virat Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bangalore , which they lost; the match was totally bizarre on their part. The Sunrisers team collapsed while chasing a set target of 164 as they just scored 153 in 19.4 overs, losing the match by ten runs.

However, Jonny Bairstow scored 61 runs in 43 balls but could not help his team. During his innings, Jonny showed his classy play once again and toyed with the RCB bowlers, especially Umesh Yadav as he hit him for two huge sixes in an over. Sunrisers Hyderabad team is a strong side with David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, and Kane Williamson in the top order. Their bowling is also pretty formidable with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan , Muhammad Nabi , Khaleel Ahmed, and Sandeep Sharma on the list. All these players are profoundly talented and are surely going to turn down the tables and make wins in IPL 2021 .
