SRHvsRR:A dream debut for Jason Roy as he smashed cracking fifty
What a debut for Jason Roy in Indian Premier League (IPL). Roy, who warmed the benches for quite some time, finally got his chance after former Sunriser Hyderabad (SRH) captain David Warner was not performing. Roy made full use of the opportunity provided and smashed his half-century against Rajasthan Royals (RR).
That's one way to announce yourself on debut! A well-deserved Man of the Match award for @JasonRoy20 for his knock of 60 off 42 balls. 🧡#SRHvRR #OrangeArmy #OrangeOrNothing #IPL2021 pic.twitter.com/oM9AsigeTH

While he was dismissed by Chetan Sakariya after scoring 60 of 42 balls, he has surely done his part along with batsmen Wriddhiman Saha (18) and Kane Williamson (25*).
The South African-English cricketer was bought by the Hyderabad franchise at the IPL 2021 auctions last year, but he did not get a game in the first leg of the tournament in India.
Roy, who was part of the squad in UAE had to wait for his opportunity and with Warner struggling, it opened doors for the English batsman. In fact, according to ground reports, Warner had not even come out with SRH to the ground.
