5 memorable moments from the Gujarat Lions-Sunrisers Hyderabad match that don't fade away
What a thumping. This year’s IPL has seen some very one-sided affairs, but this one beats all of them by a country mile. Gujarat, one of the two new teams of this year’s IPL, came into this game with 3 wins from 3 games.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers Hyderabad had lost their first 2 games before winning their 3rd encounter. As a result, both teams came into this game with a win behind their backs and hoped to extend their run.

The Gujarat Lions were expected to win given their better form and that they were playing at home, but what happened today was an onslaught against the newest addition of this year’s IPL.
After some solid bowling from the Hyderabad franchise, Gujarat could post only 135 runs on the board. The target was an easy chase for the Sunrisers, as they hunted it down with all their wickets intact.
And here are the 5 memorable moments from the game that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes:
Aaron Finch's wicket
Aaron Finch is a man in form. In each of his first 3 games, he scored half-centuries to reiterate his dominance among openers.
As he came on the pitch to open the innings, almost everyone expected another Finch classic. Indeed, fans were all hyped up to see how the battle between him and the young Bangladeshi Mustafizur Rahman would go.
However, all those expectations went in vain after just 4 balls.
After being unable to score from the first 3 balls, he was cleaned up by Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the 4th ball of the game. Finch was gone—and that too without troubling the scorecard keepers.
