The start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has not been ideal for the David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), as they are the only to have lost all their matches in the tournament so far. The SRH have lost both their matches so far – they lost their opener to RCB by 10 runs and followed it up with a loss of 7 wickets against KKR – and are at the bottom of the points table so far.
On Tuesday, they will be locking horns with the table-toppers Delhi Capitals (DC), who have won both their matches so far. So, during practice on Monday, skipper David Warner left no stone unturned in making sure that their training session before the match goes only according to the plan.

In a video posted by the Sunrisers Hyderabad on their official Twitter handle on Tuesday, Warner can be seen standing in the nets and giving directions to their bowlers on the kind of delivery to deliver. At the end of the session, Warner told the audience, “The bowlers were bowling death bowling. Target practice. For 20 minutes I was trying to execute as well as I could for the death overs. Few Change ups. Trying to work on our skills.”

He further added, “The thing is that if we are working on our skills, practicing it at training, and we don’t deliver in the game here [against Delhi Capitals] and there, at least we know that we have done the practice. As I always say perfect practice makes us perfect.”
There was also an admission of the fragile Sunrisers Hyderabad middle-order not being able to live up to what was expected of them.

The practice session started with the middle-order batting first, and Warner said, “The plan today is to get the middle-order batting in here first against some old balls. Then the top order will come in here facing some of the new balls.”
