Warner scored 0 and 2 in the two games he played for SRH since IPL 2021 restarted in the United Arab Emirates before he was dropped from the playing XI in favour of English opener Jason Roy. Warner later hinted on social media that he might have played his final game for the franchise this season while replying to a fan’s question on Instagram”Unfortunately, won’t be again but keep supporting please,” Warner said in reply to a comment in which a fan asked if he present in the stadium during the game against Rajasthan Royals earlier this week.Pietersen commented on the issue of Warner getting dropped and expressed his disappointment at not seeing the veteran Aussie batsman wear the orange jersey for SRH, whom he captained to victory in IPL 2016.”David Warner just is Sunrisers Hyderabad, so it’s disheartening to see his love affair with the franchise unravelling like this.”He has scored so many runs for them over the years, captained them to the title, and has been at the heart and soul of everything that they do,” KP wrote in his blog of Betway Insider.Pietersen went on to add that there might be things happening behind the scenes in the squad which no one knows about.”He looks totally disillusioned now, and there are clearly things happening behind the scenes that we don’t know about,” added Pietersen.Warner is the fifth highest scorer in the IPL with 5449 runs from 150 games with 4 hundreds and 50 half-centuries. He has amassed more than 500 runs 7 seasons in a row from 2014 to 2020 but has been struggling this year having scored just 195 runs from 8 games at 24.37 against a career average of 41.59 in the IPL.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
