‘David if you are listening…don’t come to IPL’: Sehwag and Gavaskar’s furious take on Warner’s slow innings against RR

Sehwag and Gavaskar lashed out at David Warner for his sluggish knock of 65 off 55. 

David Warner combined with Lalit Yadav to stitch a 64-run stand in DC’s last match against RR. However, Warner, who was well settled by then, failed to change his gears when needed. Warner eventually completed his fifty and reached the milestone of 6000 runs, but the lower order succumbed under pressure.

Furious at Warner’s knock, Sehwag, in conversation with Cricbuzz, asked Warner to either learn from players like Yashasvi Jaiswa, or not play in IPL.

“I feel it is time that we tell him in English now so that Warner listens to it and feels hurt. David, if you are listening, please play well. Score 50 in 25 balls. Learn from Jaiswal, he hit in 25 balls. If you cannot do that, do not come and play in the IPL,” Sehwag said.

“It would have been better for the team if David Warner got out for 30 runs, rather than making 55-60. Players like Rovman Powell and Ishan Porel could have come out much earlier and maybe could have done anything. No balls were left for those players, and they are big hitters in team,” he added.

Sunil Gavaskar also fumed at Warner, saying that had it been any young Indian cricketer, it would have been his last game in IPL.

“If you are dismissed for 8 off 8, one can say okay he couldn’t find that rhythm. But you are the captain here, you have that experience. They showed that he was the fastest to 6000 IPL runs so you can never imagine him playing these knocks. David Warner would have been retired hurt by Delhi Capitals if he was not their captain. If this was a young Indian player, his tournament would have been over. It would have been his last match. Warner has to take responsibility for this loss,” he said.
