In a surprising revelation, Australian cricketer David Warner disclosed that he has been blocked by his former Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The revelation came to light when Warner tried to share a post by SRH on social media after they successfully acquired Travis Head. In the ongoing IPL auction in Dubai, Head went to SRH for a substantial INR 6.8 crore.
David Warner, a prolific left-handed batsman, has had a remarkable journey in the IPL, particularly with SRH. The Australian opener was pivotal in leading the franchise to its second IPL title in 2016. However, his association with SRH took a tumultuous turn in 2021 when the team unexpectedly sacked him.
The public acknowledgement of being blocked by SRH adds another layer to Warner’s complex relationship with the franchise. While the reasons behind his dismissal in 2021 were not explicitly stated, Warner’s absence from the team raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about internal conflicts.
SRH makes shocking buys at the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai.
Meanwhile, Travis Head, an Australian batsman, comes into the SRH fold with an impressive T20 record. In T20 Internationals, he has amassed 554 runs in 22 innings at an average of 29.2. Additionally, his performances in various T20 leagues around the world include scoring 1880 runs at an average of 27.2 in 79 games. It’s worth noting that Australian players had a great time at the auction today.
As the IPL auction unfolds in Dubai, the dynamics between David Warner and SRH continue to be a subject of speculation and interest among cricket enthusiasts. While Warner is set to lead the Delhi Capitals once again in the IPL, his legacy with SRH remains etched in the tournament’s history, making him one of the league’s most celebrated and enigmatic figures.
Here is how fans react to David Warner’s revelation:
That's the respect for the man who made them IPL Champions in a season where it was David vs Goliath of RCB. ??????????. Someone who is still loved by the fans, who is the only player who can be called a Sunriser. Has a god damn legacy for your franchise.
