Warner has scored 306 runs in eight video games this season with a strike charge of 118.6, which is under his ordinary requirements. He is the very best run-scorer for DC this season, however Harbhajan believes that his contribution has not been substantial. Harbhajan criticized Warner’s management abilities and identified that he typically blames different gamers for his or her losses. He mentioned that Warner had not proven any intent and scored his runs at a poor strike charge. Harbhajan added that Warner must look within the mirror if he needs to discover a purpose for DC being on the backside of the IPL factors desk.
“Even now, when he involves displays, he says about different gamers’ errors. But what have you ever accomplished? You did not present any intent; you scored 300+ runs however have a look at your strike charge. Warner hasn’t accomplished justice to his stature this yr. His 300 runs are of no use to DC,” he added.
DC have solely received two of their first eight video games in IPL 2023 and are at present on the backside of the factors desk. They will face defending champions Gujarat Titans on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 2.

In this format of the sport, it isn’t nearly scoring runs but in addition about scoring them rapidly. A excessive strike charge is important for a batsman to be efficient and to assist their crew win video games.
“I don’t think they can make a comeback, and the entire reason for that is captain. He didn’t lead the side well, and then his form was an issue. It has been very disappointing. Warner needs to look in the mirror if he wants to find a reason for DC being at the bottom,” he concluded.
