Don’t think this is the right thread but Kane Williamson will be leading SRH from now on. I’m happy for him. Hope SRH can win some from here on!👍🏼
Haha, we literally posted within seconds of each other 😃
I don't mind Kanos being given the captaincy, but have to feel a bit for Warner. This looks more like an ego issue between Warner and management (like the part about Pandey being dropped) and that's disappointing, especially taking into account how much Warner has given to this franchise. For the last few years, he's almost single handedly carried their batting and dragged them into the playoffs every single time.
David Warner joined SRH in 2014
2014 - 528 runs (4th most runs in the tournament)
2015 - 562 runs (orange cap)
2016 - 848 runs (2nd most)
2017 - 641 runs (orange cap)
2019 - 692 runs in 12 inn. (orange cap)
2020 - 548 runs (3rd most runs)
(stats from Twitter)
Also, Warner (at least to me) looks like one of those foreign folks that's really immersed themselves into the IPL and the culture of the country as a whole and gives nothing less than 110%. Unlike some of his other countrymen, who treat it purely as a business assignment and nothing else and perform poorly as well. Which is why this hurts me a little more 😔
