David Warner

One of the brilliant record holders in the T20I and IPL, David Warner, has been SunRisers Hyderabad’s stalwart since 2014. He was made the skipper in 2016. The side had flared under his leadership; and lifted their solitary and maiden cup in 2016. SRH have not failed to pave their way to the playoffs since 2016. The dynamics did not change when Kane Williamson swished the baton in 2018 and 2019. The team became the runners-up in 2018.

But things were patchy in the IPL 2021. SRH won one out of seven games in the first half of the postponed season. After a few games, SRH handed over the captaincy to Kane Williamson sacking David Warner, but the equation remained constant with a porous middle-order.

It is anticipated that Warner may not be a part of the franchise in 2022. If new teams join the fray, possibilities are high that he will be bought by any of them and regain his captaincy.
