"Time for David Warner to take retirement" - Twitter erupts as DC captain registers silver duck vs SRH in IPL 2023
Delhi Capitals (DC) captain David Warner failed to fire against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, April 29. The 36-year-old departed for a two-ball duck.
Chasing 198, the left-handed batter was clean bowled by ace SRH pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the opening over. His wicket gave the hosts the worst possible start to the chase.

Warner, though, is DC’s leading run-scorer in IPL 2023. He has so far amassed 306 runs in eight games at a strike rate of 118.6, including four half-centuries.
Fans, however, tore apart David Warner for his failure against his old IPL franchise SRH. One user tweeted:
“Time for David Warner to take the retirement. Generally, Australian players don’t drag too much in their careers. But Warner is an exception among them.”
