Soon after Warner, Jonny Bairstow also takes a walk back to the pavilion.
Shreyas Gopal to Bairstow, catch out by Dhawal Kulkarni again.
And what a brilliant catch.
Running catch at the long-off along with the boundary rope... just brilliant.
Bairstow scored 45 off 28.
Next batsman is India's, Vijay Shankar.
Watch David Warner's celebration after scoring half-century:

Hyderabad vs Rajasthan

After scoring the century, Samson said, "Feels good to score an IPL hundred, but this is just the start of the tournament and I got to stay grounded and do what the team wants."
A fine century from Samson and a knock of 70 by the Skipper, propel @rajasthanroyals to a total of 198/2.

Will the @SunRisers chase the total down or will the @rajasthanroyals defend it?#VIVOIPL pic.twitter.com/7GqqysMxtO
"The pitch was a bit slow to start with, but with time it got easy. I think we have set a good target with our bowling line-up. But cricket is a funny game, anything can happen."

What the captains say:
Ajinkya Rahane: "I don't know how this wicket will behave but I am sure that the wicket won't change much in the 40 overs, so looking to put runs and then defend."
Kane Williamson: "It looks like a good surface and it is important that we adapt with the ball first up and it's all about executing our skills and our plans."
