David Warner
David Warner had a slow run in the first leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in April-May. Even though he managed only 193 runs in 6 innings at an average of 32.16, he consumed a lot of deliveries that more often than not had an adverse effect on SRH’s innings.
Sacked as SRH’s captain
One of the highlights of the first leg of IPL 2021 was Warner’s sacking as SRH’s captain. Kane Williamson was given the charge

Warner was also dropped for SRH’s match against Rajasthan Royals that had turned out to be their last game of the first phase of IPL 2021. SRH lost the match by 55 runs.
