IPL 2023: On Strike-Rate Criticism, David Warner Fires Back At Critics

21.04.2023 - 11:21 sports.ndtv.com

Delhi Capitals skipper David Warner has urged the young Indian batters in his side to devise their own methods to counter express pace as it is a skill that can't be taught.

Warner, DC's leading run-scorer with 285 from six games, did the star turn with his fourth half-century that was largely responsible for his team's first victory this IPL on Thursday night.

However, Indian batters have cut a sorry figure as Prithvi Shaw (47 from 6 games), Sarfaraz Khan (34 from 2 games), Yash Dhull (3 from 2 games), Aman Khan (30 from 4), Abhishek Porel (33 from 4 games) have all had issues against pace and spin. “To be honest, we don't have too many discussions as you have to back your skills and I can't tell people how to bat.

You have to actually work it out,” Warner was very straight in his reply when asked if he has had conversations with Shaw and company.

Chennai Super Kings has taken another step towards the IPL 2023 playoff spot.

With this win, CSK have 15 points from 12 games and are sitting at the second spot. DC are all but out of the playoff race as they remain at the bottom of the points table.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni punished Khaleel Ahmed and then marshalled his bowling resources to perfection as Chennai Super Kings comprehensively beat Delhi Capitals by 27 runs to take a giant stride towards IPL play-off on Wednesday. The talismanic skipper's couple of monstrous sixes in his 9-ball-20 did help CSK get to 167 for 8, which was at least 20 runs above-par on a tacky Chepauk track. The total was just what Dhoni needed to marshall his bowlers as Delhi Capitals were never in hunt after their batting mainstays David Warner (0), Phil Salt (17) and Mitch Marsh (5) were out by the start of the fourth over.
