The ongoing 16th match of IPL 2023 between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) witnessed a remarkable moment when veteran Aussie opener David Warner switched his stance to bat right-handed. The incident took place in the eighth over of the match when the Capitals skipper was at the crease to face a free hit from young off-spinner Hrithik Shokeen.
The 16th edition of the IPL has already witnessed some unique moments and Delhi Capitals’ David Warner added to the madness in the clash against Mumbai Indians. Mumbai’s young offspinner Hrithik Shokeen committed the cardinal sin of overstepping in the eighth over of the match and Warner was on strike to face the free hit. However, the veteran Aussies’ tactics did not work, as he could only manage to miscue a drag down from the bowler.

“For me it is about finding rhythm and as a whole group we gotta work harder and get sharper. We got a forced change, Khaleel Ahmed is injured and we got Yash Dhull in place of him. Also Rilee Rossouw makes way for Mustafizur Rahman. All the boys are up and about, we gotta adapt to the situations and pumped to be playing in front of the home crowd,” Warner after calling wrong at the toss.
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner(c), Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull, Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Abishek Porel(w), Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman
