IPL 2020: Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad engage in hilarious banter

On Thursday, October 22, Rajasthan Royals lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. With the win even as SRH moved to fifth in the table, the Royals kept gasping for breath. As far as the match was concerned, the Sunrisers restricted the Royals to an under-par 154 for the loss of six wickets. Barring Sanju Samson’s 26-ball 36, none of the batters got a substantial score. Jofra Archer’s seven-ball 16 injected momentum into the innings.

In the run-chase, Archer sent back both David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to set the cat amongst the pigeons in the SRH dugout. But Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar stitched together an unbeaten partnership of 140 to take SRH over the finishing line.

After the defeat, the Royals didn’t seem to be happy by any means. They uploaded a picture where they muted a few words, namely, ‘ONE LARGEEE BIRYANI’, ‘Hyderabad biryani’ and ‘Biryani’.

Here’s the Royals’ tweet:

Moreover, the Royals and Sunrisers were engaged in another rib-tickling banter. On Sunday, October 11, RR beat SRH by five wickets after Rahul Tewatia and Riyan Parag played a couple of excellent knocks in the death overs.

Back then, the Royals had taken to Twitter to ridicule the opposition. SRH, now, after winning, trolled the Royals back in a hilarious manner.

Here’s the Sunrisers’ reply:
