Warner played a subdued knock of 57 off 55 balls, which was a far cry from his usual destructive style. Sehwag claimed Warner’s approach was completely wrong as the Delhi pitch was batsman-friendly.

The Chennai Super Kings romped to a 7-wicket victory, chasing down the target of 172 in 18.3 overs, thanks to the brilliant 129-run opening stand between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Virender Sehwag said that David Warner should have batted more freely.

David Warner has scored 193 runs in six games in IPL 2021. However, his strike rate of 110.2 this season must be a concern for the SRH team management

“Don’t rate David Warner highly as a skipper”- Virender Sehwag

The former India opener was also critical of David Warner’s captaincy and pointed out that SRH didn’t go for wickets against CSK. Virender Sehwag hinted that Kane Williamson would be a better option as skipper for SRH.

SRH have now lost five of their six games this season, and it will take a monumental turnaround for them to get back in contention for the playoff spots. They next play the Rajasthan Royals on May 2.
