I hope this decision by @SunRisers releases the batsman in David Warner. He has regarded just a little subdued and weighed below at instances and #SRH would wish to see the dominant matchwinner in him once more

“Firstly he’s (David Warner) not going to be playing in this game and that’s purely a decision based on the combination. We’ve come to the conclusion that at this stage two overseas bat, an all-rounder and Rashid Khan is our best combination. We looked at it very closely. Obviously Bairstow’s form and Williamson’s form is at a great height and we are very thrilled with the way they are playing and we had to make a hard call and someone had to miss out and unfortunately for Davey on this occasion, it’s him.”
“He’s been pretty good. Obviously been shocked and disappointed, you would be disappointed if wasn’t feel that way like an elite sportsperson. They want to be playing, they want to be proving themselves to be doing their best they possibly can for the team and he’s come to terms with the logic behind what we are trying to achieve as a team perspective and a franchise perspective and he’s been terrific since,” Moody mentioned forward of SRH’s conflict towards Royals.
‘David Warner won’t characteristic in at the moment’s sport. The decision is only primarily based on team mixture.’

“He’s rallied around the team and more importantly the team has also rallied around him. What’s happened in the past I don’t it’s that relevant when it comes to today. I think it’s more to do with how you approach the game today from the strategic point of view and also the mindset point of view. We’ve obviously had some significant changes within the group in the last 24 to 48 hours with the change in personnel on the field and the leadership change with Kane Williamson leading. So it’s how quickly we make those adjustments and take advantage of the fresh look,” Moody added.
“He has come to terms with the logic behind what we want to achieve from a franchise’s perspective. He has rallied around the team and more importantly, the team has rallied around him,” Moody mentioned.
“I don’t think what’s happened in the past isn’t as relevant and we have made some significant changes in the ground in the last 24-48 hours,” he added.
Many, together with former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull, consider it was Warner’s remarks concerning the team-selection regarding Manish Pandey as the explanation behind his captaincy strip.
Warner had mentioned pointed fingers on the selectors after they dropped Pandey within the match towards Delhi Capitals, which Warner and his boys misplaced within the Super Over.
“I think there must have been a falling out somewhere along the lines and not with the team, there has to be a falling out with the coaching structure. After what he said in that game about leaving Manish Pandey out, it was not his decision at all, he didn’t want to do it clearly. And basically, you passed the buck, you blamed it on someone else and I think he has paid the price for that,” mentioned Simon Doull throughout an interplay with Cricbuzz.
