On Tuesday, April 11, the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals and the five-time champion Mumbai Indians squared off in the 16th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi’s first-inning performance was rocky. But David Warner recorded his 58th IPL half-century. As Mumbai needed two runs off the final ball and David Warner threw the ball, Cameron Green and Tim David Warner finished the run to give Mumbai a dramatic victory over Delhi. Warner scored 51 runs in 48 deliveries. Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh discussed Warner’s performance against Mumbai and commented on how playing against his own team was akin to Warner’s performance.
“What purpose do such runs even serve? He must score quickly. He appears to be competing against his own team. Also, I believe that what he mentioned regarding the fielding part was just an excuse. Nobody gets that much time to contemplate when they pick up and toss the ball.
“Star Sports was told by Harbhajan Singh.
Little details should have been considered: Virender Sehwag
Many previous Indian celebrities came forward to comment on Warner’s performance as the conversation continued in the same vein. Sehwag remarked during commentary, “He ought to have been nearby when the penultimate ball needed two. He was erect next to the rope. Although he is scoring runs, these minor details ought to have been taken into account.”
Irfan Pathan joined the conversation by reflecting on the performance of the star Australian opener on Twitter. On the 36-year-old’s strike rate, Pathan spoke. “Why isn’t anyone bringing up David Warner’s strike rate? He has been using a low strike for a while now. “Tweeted him.
Warner has been quite slow to add runs to the scoreboard despite hitting runs, which may be contributing to the Delhi Caps’ winless streak in the IPL 2023. With three half-centuries already under his belt and a strike rate of 114.84 at the IPL 2023, it would be advantageous for Delhi if the 36-year-old could pick up the pace.
