This would be the second time Warner will lead Capitals, having been the interim captain for a few matches over the last yr of his first stint with the franchise between 2009 and 2013 (Delhi Daredevils again then). Warner was purchased by Sunrirsers Hyderabad in 2014 and appointed the captain a yr later. In 2016, Warner took Sunrisers to the title. Warner is the joint-fifth most profitable captain, when it comes to matches received: in 69 matches he led, Warner’s groups received 35, misplaced 32, and tied two matches.
Captaincy by no means burdened Warner the batter and numbers help that declare: he has 2840 runs at a mean of 47.33 and a strike price of 142.28 with one century and 26 fifties. Satirically, although, it was his weak batting type within the first half of the 2021 IPL that pressured Sunrisers to bench him, earlier than he was changed as captain by Kane Williamson. It resulted in a bitter fallout between Warner and Sunrisers, who launched him forward of the 2022 mega public sale, the place the Capitals bagged him for INR 6.25 crore ($762,000 approx then).
Warner endured a tough first half of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, throughout which he needed to return residence after being caught on the elbow by a brief supply from Mohammed Shami within the second Check in Delhi. Even because the curtains are closing in quick on his Check profession, Warner’s white-ball profession stays sturdy and he would take a look at utilising the IPL expertise in his and Australia’s preparation for the ODI World Cup which shall be performed in India in October-November.
