David Warner bounced off the block to produce consistent performances as Australia won their maiden T20 World Cup title. They defeated the Aussies by eight wickets in the mega-final on Sunday night in Dubai to lift the illustrious title.
Warner had a nightmare of an IPL season where he scored only 195 runs from eight games. The Aussie opener was also stripped of the captaincy of the IPL franchise then dropped from the playing XI, owing to his poor run of form.
However, both David Warner and Australia turned around when it mattered the most and scripted one of the finest redemption stories. Following a superlative campaign, Warner’s wife Candice Warner took an indirect dig at the critics, who called out the southpaw for being old and out of form.
“Out of form, too old and slow! Congratulations @davidwarner31,” tweeted Candice.
