DREAM11 IPL 2020 – David Warner is reinstated as captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. We just can’t wait to see what’s in store!

On a lighter note……

The talented Warner: He is a writer as well. Based on the nickname he earned as a kid, he is the proud author of the book series named ‘The Kaboom Kid- The big switch’.

The Kaboom Kid- The big switch
The Kaboom Kid- The big switch

The adorable and lively Warner: Warner is famous for his adorable Tik-Tok videos with his family on the internet. Sometimes dancing to an Indian tune to frolicking around with his girls (wife and daughters)… he will leave you enamoured. Take a look at this one.

The changed Warner: A brash player famous for his acid replies and frequent brawls with other players almost got him a “perennial offender” tag. But he mended his ways and how! He ended up being called Mr Reverend (someone worthy of utmost respect) by his coach. What a mountain of the difference!

Cheers for now!
