<p>David Warner's fall-out with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 had sent shockwaves around the cricket fraternity. Warner was sacked from captaincy before being dropped from the playing XI as he endured one of his worst seasons in the IPL.</p>

<p>The star Australian batter has been released by SRH and questions are still being raised over the treatment handed out to him by the franchise. SRH are facing criticism from all quarters after their decision to retain captain Kane Williamson, and uncapped players - Umran Malik and Abdul Samad, while letting go of the likes of Warner and Rashid Khan.</p>

<p>Warner and Rashid have been two of the best players in the shortest format over the last few years and have been consistent performers for SRH ever since joining the franchise. While Warner's departure wouldn't have come as a surprise to many, SRH not retaining Rashid left many baffled.</p>

<p>With SRH still being criticised for not treating Warner well during his last season with the team, former India pacer Irfan Pathan has come up with a cryptic tweet on the saga. Pathan took to Twitter to state that SRH is the same franchise that had supported Warner when his country had banned him from playing cricket.</p>

<p>"Ppl who is questioning a franchise decision about a foreign player should also remember that the same franchise supported him when his own country banned him to play," Irfan wrote in a tweet.</p>

Same franchise supported him when his country banned him: Irfan's cryptic tweet on David Warner-SRH saga

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have reportedly decided to retain only skipper Kane Williamson ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction for the 2022 season.

<p>All eight existing IPL teams are set to reveal their final list of retained players on Tuesday (November 30).

<p>Bairstow made his IPL debut for SRH in the 2019 season and formed a formidable opening partnership at the top with David Warner, who is also set to be released by the franchsie after enduring a disappointing campaign in IPL 2020.

<p>He will be in demand at the upcoming IPL mega auction as a lot of franchises will be looking for good opening batters. Bairstow is a white-ball regular for England and is known for his swashbuckling style of batting. He can be a a great addition to a number of teams in the league.</p>

<p>The deadline for Indian Premier League (IPL) retentions ahead of the mega auction is over as the existing eight franchises had until 12:00 PM on Tuesday (November 30) to submit the final list of retained players.

<p>One of the most consistent batters in the history of the Indian Premier League, Warner has been instrumental in Sunrisers' success over the years.

<p>Ahead of the mega auction, Warner has confirmed SRH will not be retaining him and that he can't do anything about it.

David Warner comes up with blunt response after fan says he should lead Sunrisers Hyderabad again

<p>One of the most successful overseas players in the Indian Premier League (IPL), David Warner has broken his silence on the events that transpired after he was sacked from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captaincy and dropped from its playing XI. SRH had a disappointing season in the IPL 2021, winning only three games and ending at the bottom of the points table.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Warner led SRH to their first IPL trophy in 2016 and went on to win three Orange Caps with them in 2015, 2017 and 2019. Despite such outstanding performance, Warner was removed as SRH captain in the first half of the IPL 2021, and Kane Williamson took his place. In the second half, Warner appeared in only two games before being pulled from the XI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, Warner has regained form at the recently concluded T20 World Cup that Australia won after defeating New Zealand in the summit clash. The swashbuckling batter was named Player of the Tournament after a prolific form, has now opened up on the way he was treated at SRH.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad assistant coach Brad Haddin has admitted that the decision to drop Australian opener David Warner from the team's playing XI midway through the IPL 2021 season had nothing to do with cricket.</p>

<p>Warner, who guided SRH to their lone IPL triumph in 2016, was left out of the team's playing XI for the second leg of the IPL 2021 in the UAE.

<p>"I tell you what, it was not a cricket decision that he was not playing for SunRisers Hyderabad.

<p>Ahead of Australia's campaign, Gilchrist&nbsp;told SEN's Whateley,"I know there's a bit of uncertainty around him (Warner) and his results, but he hasn't played any cricket.

T20 World Cup: Adam Gilchrist concerned over David Warner's form after his SRH fallout in IPL 2021

<p>David Warner had a torrid and forgettable run in IPL 2021. The Aussie opener started once again as the Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) captain, but back-to-back losses and his indifferent form led to his sacking during the first leg in India, early this year. When the second and final leg commenced in the UAE, by then Warner had lost the faith of the SRH team management.</p>

<p>While he played the first two games of the Hyderabad franchise, his low-returns with the bat led to his ouster. Moreover, he was not even seen in the SRH dugout for a few games; raising eyebrows among the ardent SRH fans. While Warner finally returned to the stands, during SRH's face-off versus Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he wasn't included in a video shared by the franchise -- featuring all their players -- after they ended&nbsp;IPL 14 at the bottom.</p>

'NoWarnerNoSRH' trends on Twitter as fans back David Warner, demand his retention ahead of IPL 2022

<p>David Warner has finally broken his silence on his fall from grace at the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Warner had started the season as the captain of the Hyderabad franchise before being sacked from captaincy midway through the season. He was then dropped from the playing XI and managed to make only eight appearances for SRH in the tournament this year.</p>

<p>Warner was sacked as the captain of the side after SRH managed only a solitary win in their first six matches in IPL 2021. He was replaced by Kane Williamson, however, the move didn't change SRH fortunes as their woeful season continued under the Kiwi batsman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>SRH became the first team to be eliminated from the race for the playoffs and finished at the bottom of the table with just three wins from 14 matches this season. Warner opened up on being sacked from captaincy and being dropped from the playing XI in what was one of the worst seasons for him in the history of IPL.</p>

<p>The Australian star said it was a tough pill to swallow to not being explained why he was sacked from captaincy and that he thought what he has achieved for the franchise in the IPL over the years would be taken into account when such treatment was being rendered out to him.</p>

<p>&nbsp;“I am not 100 per cent sure how to answer that. With the utmost respect for the owners, Trevor Baylis, Laxman, Moody and Murali, when a decision gets made, it has to be a unanimous one. You don't know who the person is going for you and who isn't,"&nbsp;Warner said on <em>Sports Today,&nbsp;</em>when asked about what went wrong for him at the franchise this season.</p>

David Warner breaks silence on fall from grace at SRH: Was not explained why I was dropped as captain

<p>Former Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain David Warner has hinted at his exit from the franchise after the team's ouster from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. SRH endured a disastrous season in IPL 2021 as they failed to make it to the playoffs, managing only three wins in 14 matches this season.</p>

<p>Warner too had a season to forget as he was sacked from captaincy before being dropped from the playing XI. The star Australian batsman started the season as the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad and led them in the first six games of the season before being sacked from captaincy for managing only 1 win in six matches.</p>

<p>He was replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain of the side and was left out of the playing XI for the side's seventh game of the season. In the UAE leg, Warner featured in SRH's first two games before being dropped again for the remainder of the season. It was quite evident that SRH have started looking beyond Warner and the Aussie batsman has now all but confirmed his exit from the side.</p>

<p>After enduring one of his worst seasons in the IPL with SRH, Warner took to Instagram&nbsp;on Sunday (October 10) to share a heartfelt post, capturing some of the defining moments of his journey with SRH. "My favourite moment!! Plus, A few pics from our journey, but the last pic is a big thank you for the support shown to us," Warner wrote with a series of pictures of himself in SRH's jersey.</p>

<p>A number of SRH players reacted to Warner's post and expressed gratitude for his leadership qualities at the franchise. The 34-year-old remains the only captain to have led SRH to an IPL title. The franchise won their maiden IPL trophy under Warner's captaincy in 2016.</p>

Former Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain David Warner has hinted at his exit from the franchise after the team's ouster from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.

Former Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain David Warner has hinted at his exit from the franchise after the team's ouster from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. SRH endured a disastrous season in IPL 2021 as they failed to make it to the playoffs, managing only three wins in 14 matches this season. Warner too had a season to forget as he was sacked from captaincy before being dropped from the playing XI. The star Australian batsman started the season as the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad and led them in the first six games of the season before being sacked from captaincy for managing only 1 win in six matches. He was replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain of the side and was left out of the playing XI for the side's seventh game of the season. In the UAE leg, Warner featured in SRH's first two games before being dropped again for the remainder of the season. It was quite evident that SRH have started looking beyond Warner and the Aussie batsman has now all but confirmed his exit from the side. After enduring one of his worst seasons in the IPL with SRH, Warner took to Instagram on Sunday (October 10) to share a heartfelt post, capturing some of the defining moments of his journey with SRH. "My favourite moment!! Plus, A few pics from our journey, but the last pic is a big thank you for the support shown to us," Warner wrote with a series of pictures of himself in SRH's jersey.

David Warner leaving SRH? Australian star's heartfelt post on Instagram hints at his exit

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)'s former captain David Warner had a season to forget in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Warner started the season as the captain of the side before being asked to step down from captaincy midway. He was then dropped from the playing XI, hinting at his exit from the side ahead of the upcoming mega auction.</p>

<p>Warner was replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain of SRH after the side managed only one win in their first six games. He was then left out of the playing XI for SRH's seventh game of the season before the tournament had to be postponed due to COVID-19. The Australian batsman returned to playing XI for SRH's first two games in the UAE leg before being dropped again for the remainder of the season.</p>

<p>Warner didn't even get to travel with the rest of the squad to the stadiums during the later stages of the tournament and the franchise's treatment of their former captain was questioned by many. On Saturday, SRH released a farewell video for fans after the conclusion of IPL 2021's league stages as they failed to make it to the playoffs this year.</p>

<p>Warner was missing from the video shared by the Orange Army on social media, prompting fans to ask about his absence. One of the fans tagged Warner on Instagram and asked him why he was not in the farewell video. The Australian star responded and stated that he was not asked to be in the video.</p>

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)'s former captain David Warner had a season to forget in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Warner started the season as the captain of the side before being asked to step down from captaincy midway. He was then dropped from the playing XI, hinting at his exit from the side ahead of the upcoming mega auction. Warner was replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain of SRH after the side managed only one win in their first six games. He was then left out of the playing XI for SRH's seventh game of the season before the tournament had to be postponed due to COVID-19. The Australian batsman returned to playing XI for SRH's first two games in the UAE leg before being dropped again for the remainder of the season. Warner didn't even get to travel with the rest of the squad to the stadiums during the later stages of the tournament and the franchise's treatment of their former captain was questioned by many. On Saturday, SRH released a farewell video for fans after the conclusion of IPL 2021's league stages as they failed to make it to the playoffs this year. Warner was missing from the video shared by the Orange Army on social media, prompting fans to ask about his absence. One of the fans tagged Warner on Instagram and asked him why he was not in the farewell video. The Australian star responded and stated that he was not asked to be in the video.

'I wasn't asked to do it': David Warner responds to fan after going missing from SRH's farewell video

<p>West Indies batting legend Brian Lara feels that Sunrisers Hyderabad need to look at building a side around tall all-rounder Jason Holder for the next Indian Premier League (IPL) season, adding that the skipper should be a local pick as it "allows them to manage overseas slots better".<br />
<br />
SRH had a forgettable IPL 2021, finishing the season last with only three wins from 14 games. They removed David Warner as skipper following a dismal run during the India leg and put New Zealand`s Kane Williamson in-charge of the side. However, their struggles continued and, on Friday, they lost the final league match of IPL 2021 to Mumbai Indians by 42 runs.</p>

"Jason Holder is the shining light in a disastrous season. I`m not sure if he is an out-and-out T20 player, but I feel they can build a team around him," Lara told cricket.com on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Lara said having a local player as captain allows teams to be more flexible with their foreign recruits for the four slots in playing eleven.<br />
<br />
"It`s always great to have a local player to lead the side because you only have four selections in the playing XI and you are carrying the captain in that. There is a big auction coming up and SRH have a lot of shaking up to do. Let`s see how they will get the right group to move forward," he said.</p>

Lara said that it was difficult to find positives in a side whose performance kept slipping with every match.<br />
<br />
"It`s tough to pinpoint any positives. Rashid Khan was not at his best. They lost Jonny Bairstow and they got Jason Roy, there is not much they gained from that," Lara said.<br />
<br />
However Lara praised the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians, who despite bowing out of the tournament on Friday, scored their highest ever total in the IPL.<br />
<br />
"Mumbai scored their highest ever total in the IPL, so where was 75 per cent of that effort in previous matches which would`ve kept them in the tournament. They went from abysmal to outstanding. It was about personality, the way Ishan Kishan (84) and Suryakumar Yadav (82) batted so well. The IPL is just six months away so I think they will carry this into the next tournament just like CSK did from IPL 2020.<br />
<br />
"Mumbai Indians had an equation which was almost impossible but they gave it a go. But they will be happy that the Indian players got good runs ahead of World Cup," Lara added.</p>

Sunrisers Hyderabad should build their side around Jason Holder next season: Brian Lara

<p>David Warner had a dramatic fall from grace at Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 as he endured one of his worst seasons. From being sacked from captaincy to getting&nbsp;dropped from the playing XI, SRH's treatment of the star Australian batsman raised eyebrows throughout the league stage of the tournament which concluded on Friday (October 08).</p>

<p>Warner, who has been one of the most consistent run-getters in IPL over the years, was sacked from captaincy midway through the 2021 season. He was replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain of the side before being entirely dropped from the playing XI. He did feature in SRH's first couple of matches in the UAE leg of the tournament before being left out for the remainder of the season.</p>

<p>Several former cricketers and fans questioned SRH's treatment of their former captain, slamming the franchise's team management. Now, a report in <em>Foxsports.com.au</em> has claimed that SRH's Director of Cricket Tom Moody's desire to become the next head coach of the Indian cricket team can be one of the reasons behind Warner's fall from grace at the franchise.</p>

<p>The report claimed that Moody wants to replace Ravi Shastri as the next head coach of team India and has set his sight on the top post. The report also added that the owners of SRH are 'influential' figures in BCCI which might have prompted Moody to make the decision of benching Warner and giving Indian youngsters a chance in IPL 2021.</p>

<p>"It’s understood by foxsports.com.au the former World Cup-winner and well-travelled coach is eyeing the Indian coaching job, which is set to be vacated by Shastri following the impending T20 World Cup. Moody, who after a long stint as head coach of the Sunrisers, where together with Warner as his captain led them to glory in 2016, was replaced by former England coach Trevor Bayliss but later named as the franchise’s director of cricket," said the report.</p>

<p>"It’s believed the Sunrisers’ owners are influential figures in the BCCI, which could explain the decision to leave Warner out for their past half-a-dozen matches and turn to youth,’’ the report added.</p>

<p>Trevor Bayliss replaced Moody as the head coach of SRH in 2020. However, in December 2020, the former Australian cricketer was named SRH's Director of Cricket. It remains to be seen if Moody will apply for the India head coach post after Shastri's exit post the T20 World Cup 2021.</p>

Tom Moody's desire to become India's next head coach reason behind David Warner's fall from grace at SRH?

<p>Mumbai Indians (MI) star Ishan Kishan slammed the fastest fifty of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season, against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday (October 08). In search of an unlikely win by a huge margin of 171 runs to keep their playoffs hopes alive, Kishan got MI off to a flying start against SRH in their final league game of the season.</p>

<p>Kishan was promoted to open the batting with captain Rohit Sharma and the Indian wicket-keeper batsman wasted no time in launching an all-out attack against the SRH bowlers. He went after the SRH bowlers from the word go and got his team off to a flyer with 26 runs from the first two overs.</p>

<p>Kishan smashed 18 runs off the second over bowled by Siddharth Kaul with the help of 4 consecutive boundaries before taking Mohammad Nabi and Jason Holder to the cleaners in the next two over en-route to a quickfire fifty off just 16 balls. Kishan notched up his 50 in just 16 balls with the help of nine fours and a six as MI piled on a staggering 83 runs in the first six overs.</p>

<p>Kishan slammed the fastest fifty by a batsman in IPL 2021 and the third fastest overall. KL Rahul holds the record for the fastest fifty in the history of IPL, having notched up his half-century in just 14 balls.</p>

Ishan Kishan slams fastest fifty of IPL 2021 season as Mumbai Indians aim for unlikely playoffs spot

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in their final league game of the season in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Friday (October 08). Kane Williamson &amp; Co. have already been eliminated from the race for playoffs and will be playing for pride against the defending champions, who are also all but out of the competition.</p>

<p>Ahead of the clash, talks of David Warner's potential return to the playing XI have intensified on social media. Fans have been requesting SRH to give Warner the farewell he deserves by including him in the playing XI for the final league game against MI. Warner has endured one of his worst IPL campaigns this season and has been left out of the playing XI by SRH after being sacked from captaincy.</p>

<p>Warner was sacked from captaincy during the first leg of the season in India before being dropped from the playing XI. He featured in the XI for SRH's first two games in the ongoing UAE leg before being dropped again. Warner has so far managed only 8 appearances this season and has managed to score only 195 runs.</p>

<p>Amid talks of Warner potentially making his comeback against Mumbai Indians on Friday to play his 'farewell' game for SRH, former India opener Gautam Gambhir has given his take on the matter. Gambhir said SRH's job is to win matches and not give farewell to players while stating that Warner should play if he fits in the best possible XI for SRH.</p>

<p>"See, a lot of great players didn't get farewells. We all know that even some legends didn't, although legend is a big word. I don't understand this system of farewells. Ultimately, you are playing to win the match. If your best playing XI includes him, then absolutely give him a chance. If not, then absolutely don't give him a chance. As simple as it gets. SunRisers' job is to win matches and not give farewells," Gambhir said on<em> ESPN Cricinfo.</em></p>

<p>Warner can potentially be playing his final game for SRH tonight if he manages to make the cut in the XI as height get released by the franchise ahead of the mega auction. He has endured a difficult campaign and has struggled to cement his spot in the playing XI.</p>

<p>Warner is the only captain to have led SRH to an IPL title and is one of the most consistent run-getters in the history of the league with 5449 runs to his name in 150 matches at an impressive average of 41.59.<br />

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik impressed with his raw pace on his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday. The 21-year-old right-arm pacer left many in awe of his speed when he clocked 151.03 kmph (93.84 mph) in his very first over and set the record for the fastest delivery bowled by an Indian pacer in IPL 2021 so far.</p>

<p>Hailing from Jammu and Kashmir, Malik was assisting the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen as a net bowler in training before he was roped in full-time as a replacement for left-arm speedster T Natarajan, who was ruled out due to COVID-19. Malik earned his maiden cap for SRH against KRK and bowled at a good pace consistently.</p>

<p>Speaking about his rise and the secret behind his sheer pace, Parvez Rasool, the captain of the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team said playing tennis ball cricket helped the 21-year-old massively in improving as a bowler. Rasool said Malik was always fast but the way he bowled on his debut was a performance of another level.</p>

<p>“He is a very talented boy. When I played him in the nets, he was quick. Woh bahot teekha thaa (he was pretty fast) but this was at a different level," Rasool was quoted as saying by PTI.</p>

<p>“He was literally hurrying the batters with sheer pace. I was very proud to see him hold his own at such a big stage,” he added.</p>

<p>Rasool revealed Malik did not receive any kind of formal coaching during his initial days and that playing tennis ball cricket helped him enhance his pace. Malik did not manage to get a wicket on his debut for SRH but finished with impressive figures of 27/0 in his four overs as SRH lost the game by six wickets, failing to defend a low-key total of 115 runs.</p>

<p>“I don’t think in his initial years, he had formal coaching before joining the coaching camp of District Sports Council. He used to play a lot of tennis ball matches on hire for Rs 500 or 1000. If you look at some of our best fast bowlers including Jasprit (Bumrah), they have all been tennis ball cricket products," said Rasool.</p>

<p>“The light weight of the tennis ball means that to generate pace, you need that extra effort. This kid developed strength and pace by playing tennis ball games that he would play in and around Jammu," he added.</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star David Warner has had a dramatic fall from grace in the Indian Premier League (IPL). One of the best batsmen in the history of the league, Warner had failed to cement his spot in SRH's playing XI after being sacked from captaincy. From leading SRH to their maiden IPL title in 2016, Warner is now struggling to make the cut in the XI as a pure batsman.</p>

<p>Over the years, Warner has played an instrumental role in SRH's success in the IPL, however, the Australian batsman has had to endure a terrible campaign so far this season. Warner was sacked from captaincy midway through the season during the first leg of the tournament in India earlier this year.</p>

<p>He played the first two matches in the ongoing UAE leg before being dropped from the playing XI after failing to impress with the willow. After being left out of the playing XI against Rajasthan Royals, Warner once again did not travel with the SRH squad for their game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Sharjah on Thursday.</p>

<p>Amid reports that SRH have started to look beyond him and are planning to offload him ahead of the upcoming mega auction, Warner took to Instagram to post a cryptic message in his story.&nbsp;“It's not about who is real to you face. It's about who stays real behind your back," read the message shared by Warner which appears to be a dig at the SRH team management.</p>

IPL 2021: Netizens react after David Warner gets dropped against Rajasthan Royals

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to change their captain midway after a disappointing first half of IPL 2021. The reigns were handed over to Kane Williamson after axing David Warner as the skipper. The Orange Army have won just one of their six games and are at the bottom of the points table.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The decision sparked a debate on social media on whether it was the right decision by the management or not. IPL commentator and former Kiwi pacer Simon Doull also gave his take on the matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think there must have been a falling out somewhere along the lines and not with the team, there has to be a falling out with the coaching structure. After what he said in that game about leaving Manish Pandey out, it was not his decision at all, he didn't want to do it clearly. And basically, you passed the buck, you blamed it on someone else and I think he has paid the price for that," said Doull while speaking to Cricbuzz.</p>

<p>"That dynamic... you sack a coach, Tom Moody, you employ Trevor Bayliss and then you bring Tom Moody back to oversee your cricket. I don't know how that relationship can possibly work. And I wonder whether one [win] in 5 (6) is the direct result of that relationship not working... And the press release suggests that he [David Warner] won't even play now that's even more strange," Doull added.</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad are set to lock horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. While SRH suffered a defeat in their IPL 2021 opener, RCB defeated defending champions Mumbai Indians to commence their campaign. RCB are likely to bolster their batting order by involving opener Devdutt Padikkal, who was rested in the opener due to precautionary measure. Both SRH and RCB have balanced side on paper and it would be interesting to see how they use the slow and dry conditions in Chennai on Wednesday. However, there are chances of rain during the SRH and RCB match on Wednesday.</p>
