IPL 2021: SRH Dropped David Warner For Other Reasons, Sanjay Manjrekar Says

Former India cricketer and analyst Sanjay Manjrekar believe David Warner's exclusion from the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) team was not due to his poor batting record. Warner was left out of the SRH team for their match against the Rajasthan Royals on September 27 and cheered the squad from the team hotel.

He was therefore left out of the team for Sunday's encounter against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He was seen in the stands on Sunday when SRH suffered their 10th defeat of the season. Warner also stated on Instagram that he may not play another game for SRH this season.
