Left-handed batter David Warner reserved his best performance for his former franchise SunRisers Hyderabad in the on-going Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The 35-year-old scored 92 runs off just 58 balls to help the Rishabh Pant-led side post 207. /3 in 20 overs and the team eventually won the game by 21 runs. This win helped Delhi Capitals move to fifth in the points table. After the win, Warner was cheerful and led the celebrations in the locker room.
Delhi Capitals posted a video on their Twitter handle showing Warner leading the celebrations as a team. The maverick batter used the dialogue from the Bollywood move “URI: The Surgical Strike” and addressed his teammates with the words “how’s the josh?”.
The teammates then shouted in unison, saying, “My lord.”

Warner had previously led SunRisers Hyderabad to IPL victory in 2016 and was the second highest scorer in that edition, behind only then-Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli.
However, midway through the 2021 season, Warner was removed as SRH captain and then heated the benches in the last few games. The franchise did not retain the left-handed batter before the 2022 edition.
