Former David Warner opener David Warner has once again become the center of discussion among IPL fans after making a surprising statement about his former franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The Australian batter recently hinted on social media that SRH still has him blocked on Instagram, years after his exit from the team. Warner shared a screenshot of the franchise’s Instagram page on his story, where the account appeared inaccessible from his profile.
Soon after, a fan commented on Warner’s Instagram post and asked Sunrisers Hyderabad to unblock the veteran cricketer. Warner’s response quickly grabbed attention online as he replied, “They would never unblock me.”
Warner’s SRH Journey Remains Unforgettable
Despite the recent social media drama, David Warner remains one of the most successful players in Sunrisers Hyderabad history. He joined the franchise in 2014 and became one of the most consistent batters in the IPL.
Under Warner’s captaincy, SRH lifted their first and only IPL trophy in 2016. The left-handed opener played a major role throughout the season with several match-winning innings.
Warner also won the Orange Cap multiple times during his SRH career and became the franchise’s highest run-scorer during his tenure. His aggressive batting style and leadership made him a fan favorite for many years.
The Fallout Between Warner And SRH
The relationship between Warner and the franchise started breaking down during IPL 2021. After a poor run of form and disappointing team performances, the management removed him as captain.
Later in the season, Warner was dropped from the playing XI entirely. Fans noticed the unusual situation as the former captain was seen watching matches from the stands rather than sitting with teammates in the dugout.
The partnership officially ended ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction when SRH released Warner from the squad.
Warner Still Active In Franchise Cricket
Although Warner has not played in the IPL since 2024, he continues to feature in T20 leagues around the world. The Australian star recently participated in the Pakistan Super League and remains active in franchise cricket globally.
His latest comments about Sunrisers Hyderabad have once again reminded fans about one of the IPL’s most talked-about player-franchise fallouts.
