Australian player David Warner admits to being hurt by SRH blocking him on social media
The batter of Australia, David Warner, has spoken out about his bitter split from Sunrisers Hyderabad and the franchise blocking him on social media that followed, claiming it was strange and that it “hurt him.”.
When David Warner went to congratulate his national teammate Travis Head on being acquired by SRH in IPL 2024 at the end of 2023, he discovered he was blocked by the Indian Premier League franchise.
Warner said in the latest episode of R. Ashwin’s YouTube show, “It did hurt because it was a sense of like hurt for fans. The fans are the most important relationship you could have. With the engagement with the fans that I had, with the team, it was very good.”
“I am not sure why I was blocked. But I did engage with a lot of fans on the social media side for SRH. I did feel it was my duty to engage with the fans, making sure they kept coming back. That’s what's most important. But from the blocking point of view, I don’t know. I have been sitting on it for about five years. It was bizarre. At the end of the day, I still have fans who come onto my page and talk to everyone. So it’s great,” he added.
