David Warner’s experience in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 has been nothing short of disastrous. Whereas the aggressive Australian opener began the year as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s skipper, he is no longer on the team’s side. The 34-year-old was observed cheering on the Orange Army from the seats at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium during SRH’s match versus Kolkata Knight Riders.

Followers were saddened after discovering the episode, and the SRH team management suffered criticism on social media. For the uninitiated, Warner was surprisingly fired as skipper midway through the 1st half of the 2021 IPL. The choice was reached to improve SRH’s standing in the race. He was even pulled from the starting XI. While he ended up playing a couple of games in the UAE leg, his scores of 0 and 2 ensured he has fired yet again.

Why Fans Criticize The SRH Management

Moreover, after being removed, Warner did not fly with the squad and instead remained at the team hotel. He was reportedly not selected among the first 18 picks. All of these considerations, therefore, did not prevent the 34-year-old from applauding for his team. During the match versus KKR, Warner was seen in the stands with other supporters cheering on the Kane Williamson-led side. He even shared a selfie from the venue with other fans.

Fans were enraged after finding this and criticized the SRH management. Warner, then again, has become one of their most consistent performers throughout the years. He signed the club in 2014 and quickly established himself as a pillar of the team. Along with scoring a lot of runs, the lefty was also an excellent leader.

SRH also won their first IPL title under his belt in 2016. In reality, despite competing for the Hyderabad team, Warner won the orange cap 3 times. With all of these factors in mind, netizens criticized SRH for not even letting him enter the field. However, SRH, who had already been eliminated from the playoff race, maintained their losing streak versus KKR. After scoring a dismal 115 when batting first, SRH put up a good fight but finally lost by 6 wickets.
