I threw it just to make sure the ball is getting old and then realised Warner was far outside, Hardik said after the match.

Hardik Pandya's direct hit might have ended David Warner's innings but the all-rounder was surprised to see the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper way too far from the crease.
Hardik's sensational direct hit came at the point when Warner had made up his mind to go after the bowlers. "I don't spend much time on fielding, just make sure I'm ticking the boxes. To be honest, the run out of Warner I wasn't expecting he was that far. I threw it just to make sure the ball is getting old and then realised he was far outside," Hardik told host broadcaster Star Sports after the match.
