Former Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain David Warner recalled their Indian Premier League (IPL) title win in 2016 on Saturday (May 29). He posted a picture of him lifting the trophy and his teammates posing together after the win.
"OTD 2016 #memories #cricket #ipl #india our fans will always be loyal to us ❤️❤️," wrote Warner on his official Instagram account. SRH had defeated Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to win the title.

SRH had defeated RCB by 8 runs as Mustafizur Rahman (1/37) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0/25) were effective with the ball to defend the target of 209. Warner had scored 69 off 38 balls and Ben Cutting played a handy cameo of 15-ball 39* to take their total over 200.
Chris Gayle and Kohli gave RCB a good platform to capitalize with a 114-run opening stand, but they couldn't utilize the start and ended up scoring only 200/7 in 20 overs. Gayle had scored 76, while Kohli added 54 runs.
Warner was recently removed from the captaincy role in IPL 2021 after not a satisfying performance for SRH in the initial matches.
