David Warner has said with a smile that despite scoring 3 fifties for the Delhi Capitals so far, he is struggling to satisfy his children.
The Delhi Capitals beat the Punjab Kings by 9 wickets in the league match of the IPL T20 in Mumbai yesterday. Batting first, Punjab Kings were bowled out for 115 in 20 overs.
The Delhi Capitals won by 9 wickets with 119 runs to spare, losing just one wicket with 57 balls to spare. Delhi Capitals opener Prithviraj Shah was dismissed for 41. His teammate David Warner was unbeaten on 60 off 30 balls. Surprison was on the field with 12 runs.
This is Warner’s 3rd consecutive fifty in 4 innings in the IPL. Prithvisha and Warner are currently on 197 runs. Warner averages 63 with 3 fifties in 4 games.
But no matter what Warner worked for the success of the Delhi team, he could not satisfy his children. England and Rajasthan Royals’ Orange Cap owner Jazz Butler has scored 2 centuries in this IPL series. The children question Warner as to why Warner did not score hundreds like he did.
In an interview after the win, David Warner said, “My kids are asking me why I have not scored a century like Rajasthan Royals player Jas Butler. If you can not score a hundred, Jazz Butler has scored. They ask me why you did not score a century. I will try to fulfill my children’s request and are happy to have played alongside Prithvisha.
The main reason for our success is the bowlers. The bowlers bowled brilliantly and the batsmen made the task easier by rolling the Punjab low. We also used the powerplay properly. The bowlers deserve to win. I still say the form is temporary and Glaston is permanent. “
Warner, who was part of the Sunrisers squad for the last IPL series, was stripped of his captaincy for not playing well and was put on the bench. When asked by reporters about this, Warner replied that his batting form was not good.
But Warner said at the time, “Batting form is temporary. Class is permanence. ” Warner, who is playing for Delhi in this IPL series, has proved his form and his classy batting by hitting 3 fifties in 4 innings and has been talking to the Sunrisers.
