The letter reads, “We fans are unaware of the entire saga that has transpired around the sacking of David Warner as the captain of our team and his exclusion from our playing 11. We completely understand that the management and coaching staff has to take harsh decisions sometimes based on several team balancing factors.”
“However, it was a hard pill to swallow when we had to see the best player to have ever worn an SRH jersey stay on the sidelines and at least not to be a part of our think tank. Whatever the reasons may be, we, the fans of SRH, want the retention of David Warner,” it added.
Call me whatever he’s the best IPL batsman, remember the good old days that Uppal Stadium was full of 31 jerseys (maybe 2 or 3 Indians can achieve that) but he’s the only foreigner that India’s own that much, he’s the indenting of SRH he brings indenting to SRH.#NoWarnerNoSRH pic.twitter.com/XjzRBM4obH
