IPL 2019: 10 Most Valuable Players of the Season

#3 David Warner (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

David Warner

David Warner has been one of the most spectacular cricketers to watch over the years. His performances have had such a huge impact on SRH’s success. Despite being banned from international cricket for a year, Warner still hasn’t missed a beat.

Right from the first match, he showed a lot of intent to score runs and wasn’t backing down. His partnership with Bairstow was one of the best sights this year. The duo terrorized bowlers with their insane batting.

Warner and Bairstow broke the record for the highest opening partnership scoring over 200 runs.

In the 12 matches he played, Warner scored 692 runs at an average of 69.20 with eight half-centuries and one century. Just like his opening partner, Warner also left the tournament early to prepare for the World Cup.

His departure really affected Sunrisers Hyderabad who failed to win their Eliminator match against Delhi Capitals. It’s safe to assume that Warner’s absence was the difference between victory and defeat.
