Warner has won an IPL trophy as the captain of SRH. He has also vice captained the Australian cricket team on many occasions before the sand paper incident.
The latest rumour is that Delhi Capitals has decided to make David Warner the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023 as most of the squad of DC in IPL 2023 is still quite young and inexperienced when it comes to captaining a side.
