India Today
IPL 2022: David Warner's unbeaten 92 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday was one of the best innings Rishabh Pant witnessed from the sidelines.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was in awe of David Warner and Rovman Powell after the duo starred in DC's 21-run win over SunRisers Hyderabad in the 50th match of the IPL 2022 at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium on Thursday.
Warner came up with a fantastic performance against his former franchise as his magnificent 92 not out off 58 balls powered Delhi to an important win over Hyderabad.
Pant said Warner's unbeaten 92 was one of the best innings that he had witnessed from the sidelines of Delhi dugout in the IPL.
Warner scored his highest score of the season with the help of 12 fours and three sixes in a power-packed batting display and shared 122 runs with Rovman Powell (67 not out off 35 balls) for the fourth wicket to guide the Capitals to 207 for 3 after being asked to bat.
The Capitals then restricted the Sunrisers to 186 for 8 with Khaleel Ahmed (3/30) and Shardul Thakur (2/44) sharing five wickets between them to notch up their fifth win of the season. The Capitals jumped two places to fifth with 10 points from 10 matches while the Sunrisers slipped a spot to sixth after their third consecutive loss. Warner was sacked from captaincy and dropped from the Sunrisers playing eleven under controversial circumstances last season.
"The way he batted, the way he paced the innings, it's one of the best innings I have seen (in the Delhi camp),'' said Pant at the post-match presentation.
He also praised Rovman Powell who made an unbeaten 67 off 35 balls.
