IPL 2021: Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Captain David Warner has completed his 300th match in T20 format

Australian  destructive batsman and SRH’s Captain David Warner has completed his 300th match in T20 format. Warner, as captain of the side, guided SRH to the third position in the points table in the previous season and he would look to better that this year.

Warner is playing his 300th T20 match against RCB on Wednesday in the 14th Season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He will be 32nd player to play 300 T20 matches.

Warner has been a massive part of the franchisee since his first day here. The destructive Australian batsman has finished as the Hyderabad side’s top-scorer in every season he has played for them. Barring 2018, Warner has donned the ‘Orange Army’ jersey each year since 2014.

This consistency is the reason why Warner is the only player to have won 3 Orange Caps- awarded to the highest run-scorer each season. He won them in 2015, 2017 and 2019.
