Rating the 10 best captains in IPL history
A few have excelled in their roles and performed extremely well.
4. David Warner – 8.5/10
From being a ‘Bull’ back during his early days to evolving as the ‘Reverend’, David Warner has surely come a long way. There have been a few blips in his career in the last year but he continues to be one of the most important members of the SRH and Australia teams. Warner can largely accredit his successful transformation to the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
He is a completely different player – full of determination, hunger and passion – as soon as he dons the Orange jersey. After a lot of experimentation, SRH went ahead with David Warner as the captain in 2015. The left-hander ensured that he didn’t let the management regret their decision. He has led SRH from the front quite literally with his batting.
His energy on the field is infectious and has clearly rubbed off on the other players as well. The 2016 season might be remembered for Virat Kohli’s superman efforts but David Warner performed just as well. He led the team to its maiden title in the season and was highly impressive in 2017 also. He is a shrewd tactician and a complete team man. Warner won 25 out of 47 games when he led the team.
