[Watch] David Warner departs cheaply on his IPL 2024 comeback game in DC vs RCB
David Warner departed cheaply on his comeback game for Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. The left-hander lasted just two balls as he holed out to long-on, having scored just one run. The 37-year-old was dropped for the last four games and came into the side as an impact substitute since skipper Rishabh Pant was banned for this contest.
The dismissal came in the opening over of the Capitals' run-chase. Swapnil Singh bowled a full-length ball on off-stump and Warner leaned in while attempting the slog-sweep. He hit the ball fairly well but hit it too straight. Will Jacks at long-on moved to his left and took it easily inside the ropes.
Watch the video below:
Warner has an underwhelming IPL 2024 season, scoring 168 runs in eight matches, including a solitary half-century.
