DC vs SRH: David Warner touches Bhuvneshwar's feet, leaves SRH bowler blushing- WATCH
The DC vs SRH IPL 2023 match witnessed a hearty interaction between David Warner and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Watch what transpired on the field.
On Monday, an intense encounter between Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad in match number 34 of IPL 2023 witnessed DC taking the ultimate edge with some sublime death bowling. The low-scoring encounter gave SRH more reasons to dwell on its batting woes. While on the field, it was all competitive between the teams, but ahead of the proceedings, a respectful moment between David Warner and Bhuvneshwar Kumar occurred that left the fans speechless.
In his long continuing IPL career, David Warner has represented only two franchises. The Australian started his journey in the coveted league with Delhi Daredevils in 2009 and after representing the side for 5 seasons the explosive batsman was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad. With Delhi, he emerged as a foremost player among the likes of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir but with SRH he rose through the ranks as a leader. Warner has special memories with Hyderabad, as this is the outfit that he led for more than 3 seasons, which also includes the 2016 trophy-winning campaign. Warner's stint with SRH had a sour end but the player seemingly has no qualms with his former teammates. Now back with Delhi, the player returned to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium as a captain, but of the opposing team.
