Different standards for Kohli and Warner? Irfan Pathan's tweet sparks debate

With scores of 56, 37, 65 and 51, David Warner is the highest run-scorer for Delhi Capitals by some distance in IPL 2023. His tally of 209 runs also puts him in the race for the Orange Cap. However, his scores have not really helped DC win any game in IPL 2023 as they all have been scored with a low strike-rate.

While there has been a lot of talk around Virat Kohli and KL Rahul’s strike rates, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes the chatter around Warner’s strike rate has not been enough.

How come no one pointing out strike rate of David Warner?? He is been playing with low strike for quite sometime now…

Irfan’s tweet sparked a debate with fans having contrasting take on this matter. Here are some of the comments on Irfan Pathan’s tweet on David Warner:

Irfan bhai, everyone has been pointing it out on Star English comms. Heard Simon Doull, & Harsha sir speak about it every game.

True! Different standards for Kohli and different for Warner.

We need couple of top orders players to play anchor innings. It's okay if SR is not too high. @davidwarner31

Delhi Capitals are yet to win a match in IPL 2023. In their last match against Mumbai Indians, DC came very close to a win, but failed to get with a very close margin.
