IPL 2021: David Warner trolls Nicholas Pooran after running him out with a sharp direct hit

Warner’s fielding brilliance sent Pooran back to the pavilion for a diamond duck.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper David Warner is lighting fast on the field and his rocket throws are one of his strengths. Batsmen usually don't put themselves in vulnerable position thinking about a run when the ball goes to Warner.

On Wednesday (April 21), Punjab Kings (PBKS) batsman Nicholas Pooran had to pay the price of stealing a run after the ball went to Warner.

During the 8th over of Punjab’s innings, Chris Gayle punched a delivery from Vijay Shankar to the right of cover and rushed for a quick single. Pooran responded to the call but Warner was quick as the latter threw the ball in one motion and made a direct hit at the striker's end.

Warner’s fielding brilliance sent Pooran back to the pavilion for a diamond duck.

After the game, the SRH captain also trolled Nicholas Pooran for the run-out. He shared a picture on Instagram story with Pooran and captioned it, “Don’t run on me Boi @nicholaspooran”.

Coming to the match, SRH defeated PBKS by 9 wickets to register their first victory of the IPL 2021 season.

Asked to bowl first, Sunrisers bundled out PBKS for 120 in 19.4 overs and then chased down the target with 8 balls to spare.
