Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Hyderabad Sunrisers have blocked their former player David Warner on the social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).
Australian opener David Warner has been a part of IPL franchise Hyderabad Sunrisers. On Tuesday, the Sunrisers picked Australian player Travis Head as opener for INR 6.80 crore in the players’ auction.
Meanwhile, David Warner wanted to tag his former franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad while posting on ‘X’ but was unable to do so as the franchise had blocked him.
He shared a screenshot of the franchise’s profile, writing, “I wanted to retweet Sunriser’s post about Travis Head but I was unable to do so because Sunrisers blocked me.”
Warner parted ways with IPL franchise over differences, and their relationship has since soured. Warner was the captain of the Hyderabad team in the 2021 season, however, he was left out of the playing XI and later removed from the captaincy.
When the new season of IPL resumed after the COVID-19 pandemic, Sunrisers Hyderabad did not call him back to their team.
The Australian opener was subsequently repurchased by Delhi Capitals for the 2022 edition, the team Warner started his IPL journey with in 2009.
