Shane Warne gets roasted after his prediction goes wrong

After a thriller of a match that unfolded at Jaipur earlier today, it was the Sunrisers Hyderabad who emerged winners in the high octane clash by 11 runs. With the win, the Kane Williamson led side has climbed to the epitome of the IPL points table. The orange outfit currently has 12 points from 8 games, two more than second-placed CSK.

After starting their IPL 2018 campaign on a decent note by winning three consecutive games, Hyderabad faltered a bit, losing a couple of games. However, they have now put aside the turbulence, returning to winning ways in their last couple of fixtures.

And in today’s match as well, the Sunrisers bowling attack stood their fort as they defended of low par total of 151 and in the process, registered a hat-trick of wins. SRH bowling spearhead, Bhuvneshwar who has scalped six wickets from four games, with an economy under seven, however, was missing from today’s fixture.

Interestingly, prior to the match, as a banter, SRH posted a stats between Bhuvaneshwar and RR skipper Ajinkya Rahane. The statistics were dominated by the bowler who had a record of dismissing Rahane 6 times while doling out 55% dots.

Retweeting the post, iconic Aussie spinner Shane Warne who led RR to victory in the first ever IPL gave a rebuttal. Warne took on the challenge on behalf of the franchise, claiming that Bhuvi will go for a bashing when the teams meet at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium. He wrote, “Welcome to our fortress! FYI our Captain is in the mood to shake, bake & smash your man Bhuvi all over the pink city !”

However, the results were otherwise as Rajasthan failed to win the match and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar did not even feature in the lineup. The social media went into a frenzy as the SRH fans didn’t want to miss the opportunity to roast their rival. The reactions which followed were nothing short of hilarious.
