While Dc vice-captain Axar Patel scored his maiden IPL fifty in just 22 balls, Dc skipper scored his 58th half-century in the league in 43 balls. Ultimately, Warner fell on 51 off 47 balls as Delhi were all out for 172. Several experts criticised Warner for his slow knock. There was another strange aspect during Warner's innings.
