December 19, 2023: The IPL 2024 auction created waves in the cricketing world as franchises vied for top players to bolster their squads for the upcoming season. Among the noteworthy transactions, the acquisition of Australian batter Travis Head by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 6.8 crore stole the spotlight.
The World Cup-winning cricketer’s move to SRH was not only a significant development for the franchise but also an opportunity for former skipper David Warner to extend a welcome message. However, in a surprising twist, David Warner took to Instagram to reveal that he has been blocked by SRH on both Instagram and the platform formerly known as Twitter.
David Warner, known for his prolific performances with SRH in the past, posted a story on his Instagram account, sharing a screenshot of his blocked status by the franchise. In a humorous tone, he tagged Travis Head in the post, possibly indicating that the two Australian cricketers are now on opposite sides of a digital divide.
The development adds an unexpected layer of drama to the dynamics within the SRH camp. While the reasons behind David Warner’s social media blocking remain unclear, it raises questions about the internal dynamics and potential rifts within the team.
Travis Head, fresh off his deal with SRH, is set to bring his explosive batting prowess to the squad. The World Cup winner’s addition to the team promises to be a significant asset, and fans eagerly await the on-field chemistry between Head and the rest of the SRH players.
As the auction unfolds and teams finalize their squads, the drama surrounding David Warner’s social media block by SRH adds an intriguing narrative to the upcoming IPL season. Cricket enthusiasts are keenly watching how these off-field dynamics will influence the on-field performances and team spirit as the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League approaches.
