Providing an amazing exhibition of batting heroics, Jonny Bairstow made a game-changing innings that contributed to a secured win- we could say a historic win for PBKS from KKR in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The way I see it, Bairstow turned his poor form around from the beginning of the season to his ruthless century. He scored an awesome 108 runs of just 48 deliveries with the ball. His session was highlighted with nine sixes and eight fours, leaving the opposition no help against the bowlers.
While PBKS needed to catch up with 25 overs remaining, Bairstow set the tone with his rapid batting at the top. His incredible style of power-hitting, along with his aggressive attitude, made a positive statement of intent for the chasing team.
Team up with him, Shankar Singh has a role of his own, to stay clean and unbeaten he hit up 68 runs off 28 deliveries hitting 8 sixes and 2 fours. Their combination was the trigger for PBKS’ restrictive bowling performance, where
This historic performance is the winning record of PBKS so far, as they succeeded in chasing the target with 7.2 overs left. The credit was certainly due to Bairstow’s brazen display of brilliance apropos the sought-after title of the day’s Man of the Match.
This resulted in KKR looking dazed and the audience stunned as Bairstow performed fireworks with his bashing. But a historic victory powered by PBKS turned their growth and the tireless fight towards IPL.
