IPL 2021 | Former IPL champion Sunrisers Hyderabad's former captain and opener David Warner recently announced his departure from the team. Warner was the captain of the team at the beginning of IPL 2021, but after that he was stripped of the captaincy due to poor form. Kane Williamson of New Zealand was made the new captain of the team in his place. After this, he was also dropped from the team after a few matches in the UAE phase of IPL 2021. After being out of Hyderabad, Warner has once again expressed his pain. Warner has said that no one even told him why he was stripped of the captaincy. He said that he has a lot of respect for the team owners as well as the sports staff. The Australian opener, however, added that whenever a decision is taken, it should be taken unanimously.
"With the utmost respect for the team owners, Trevor Bayliss, Laxman, Tom Moody and Muralitharan, there must be a consensus when it comes to a decision," Warner told Sports Today. You don't know who is going against you and who is not. The other disappointing thing for me is that I was not even told why I was dropped from the captaincy. If you want to go along the lines of form, then it is difficult because I think whatever you have done in the past, some of the benefits will come forward.Opener Warner also said that he has played over 100 IPL matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad and experienced only four bad matches in IPL 2021 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. He said the way he was treated makes it difficult for him to digest it. Warner also said that Hyderabad is his second home and he would love to play for Sunrisers Hyderabad once again. Warner has played 150 matches in the IPL, in which he has scored 5449 runs at an average of 41.60 and a strike rate of 139.97. Warner has scored more than 5000 runs in IPL for six consecutive seasons. Warner is the first batsman to achieve this feat. He scored more than 500 runs in every season for his team from 2014 to 2020. Under the captaincy of Warner, the team has won the title in 2016.
