The David Warner-led Delhi Capitals began the IPL 2023 season on a losing note, going down to Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. Warner, speaking to the broadcaster after the match, said that the last time he played in Delhi was in 2011, before being given a cheeky reminder by batting great Sunil Gavaskar about the Delhi Test between India and Australia that the tourists had recently lost.

Warner: “We go back to Delhi in front of our home crowd. I know it’s a batting wicket. The last time, I was there in Delhi back in 2011, it was low and slow. Now I saw a bit of green grass on that surface. There will be a bit of dew in the night. If we can get an all-round good wicket, it would be fantastic.”
Gavaskar: “David last time you were there in Delhi in 2011-12? You were there last month!”
Warner: “Yeah, I know that. That was a different pitch, it was a red ball. Let’s forget that.”
Delhi Capitals is without their regular captain Rishabh Pant in IPL 2023, and the team is being led by David Warner. Delhi Capitals will be playing their next match against Gujarat Titans on April 4.
