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.
