"Ab kya fayeda khelne se Kane" - Fans react as Kane Williamson helps SRH to beat Rajasthan Royals comprehensively in Dubai

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finally got off the mark in the second half of the IPL by registering a win against Rajasthan Royals on Monday. Jason Roy (60), who replaced David Warner in the game, proved his worth instantly by putting on a player-of-the-match performance while chasing a decent target of 165.

SRH skipper Kane Williamson (51*) played sensibly. He anchored the innings to take his side home to ensure there were no hiccups after the departure of Jason Roy. Young southpaw Abhishek Sharma (21*) also chipped in with a useful cameo in the death overs.

SRH fans were relieved to see their team win a match after a long time. They took to Twitter to express their views after the match, and this led to some entertaining content on the social media platform.

"It's nice to be back to winning ways": Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson expressed delight as his team is back to winning ways after a dismal run in the last few games. He also heaped praise on Jason Roy, who made a sterling debut for the SRH side with a match-winning knock. During the post-match presentation after the game, Kane Williamson reviewed SRH's performance and said:

SRH is already out of contention for the IPL 2021 playoffs. They will look to spoil the parties of other teams in the upcoming games now as they have nothing to lose.
