Having made his international debut in 2009, the cricketer soon established himself as one of the mainstays of the Australian batting line-up across all formats. David Warner is also much adored among Indian cricket fans as the left-hander is an integral member of a popular Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

David Warner joined Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2014 edition of IPL and was appointed as their captain in 2015. Since all SRH matches take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, the cricketer is quite accustomed to playing in the venue. Much to the delight of a capacity crowd at the stadium, he scores heaps of runs at the Hyderabad deck every season.

Hence, it would be no surprise to guess that the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is one of his favourite Indian venues. However, David Warner recently revealed another Indian venue as one of his favourites while replying to a post by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Twitter.
