Fans on Twitter rallied in support of David Warner, who was sacked as skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) a few days ago. The Aussie was also dropped from the side's playing XI for their game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), adding to the agony.
The aficionados called this act by the management a great disservice to a player who has only given his best to the franchise over the last few years.
Some of the fans even commented that David Warner would be their captain, irrespective of the 'c' beside his name.
