<p> A vintage Yuvraj Singh hammered Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers to submission with 27-ball-62 as Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a commendable 207 for 4 in the opening game of the IPL-10, here tonight.<br /><br />On a batting beauty, Yuvraj smashed the RCB bowlers to cleaners after Srinath Aravind dropped a dolly at deep square leg boundary. Yuvraj was on 26 then and the let-off allowed him to score his fastest IPL half-century off 23 balls.<br /><br />Moises Henriques' 52 off 37 balls also went a long way in contributing to Sunrisers' total. The Yuvraj-Henriques pair added 58 runs runs in only 4.5 overs after Shikhar Dhawan (40) was involved in a 74-run stand for the second wicket.<br /><br />Yuvraj's innings had seven fours and three sixes while Henriques' innings had three fours and two sixes.<br /><br />Skipper David Warner started with a couple of boundaries and huge six over long-on off left-arm seamer Aniket Chaudhary but was gone when his slash was taken by a leaping Mandeep Singh at backward point.<br /><br />Dhawan banged rival skipper Shane Watson for four boundaries in the final Powerplay over to set the tone.<br /><br />Henriques at the other end chanced his arms to hit a six over long-on off Travis Head. Once Dhawan was caught in the deep off Stuart Binny's delivery, Yuvraj came in and started taking on the bowlers.<br /><br />Rajasthan's Chaudhary, who has been with the India camp came in for special treatment including a lofted extra cover drive for a six apart fom two fours in a single over.<br />Aravind, who dropped him bowled a back of the hand slower that was dispatched into mid-wicket stands.<br /><br />A widish delivery from Chaudhary was slashed past point to reach his half-century.<br />IPL's million dollar boy Tymal Mills was flicked past short fine leg and once again picked the slower delivery into the deep square leg stands before becoming his first victim.<br /><br />India's T2- specialist Yuzvendra Chahal (1/22 in 4 overs) held his own without conceding a single boundary while Mills 1/31 in 4 overs bowled the maximum (11) dot balls.</p>
