In what is being dubbed as a “revenge” or a “redemption” match, David Warner slayed with the bat for Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday, winning against his former team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). And netizens and fans were here for it, launching a hilarious meme-fest and taking a jibe at Hyderabad for letting him go.
After winning the toss, SRH decided to bowl first and create pressure on Delhi by sending Mandeep Singh back for zero and Mitchell Marsh (10 off 7) off the field in the powerplay. However, soon skipper Rishabh Pant tried to take charge and steer it in a different direction, but it didn’t last long as he went back at just 26.
However, it was former SRH captain Warner, who set the pitch on fire blistering a spectacular 92 runs off 58 balls, comprising 12 fours and 3 towering sixes. Thanks to an epic partnership between Warner and Rovman Powell, Delhi managed to set a target of 207 runs.
And while there were many highlights in the game like SRH’s bowler Umran Malik clocking the fastest delivery of the IPL 2022, it was Warner that dominated conversations online, lead by his current team.
