David Warner, Sunrisers Hyderabad rift deepens; vents anger on Instagram after omitted from team bus

While
the
coaching
staff
has
said
it
is
looking
to
give
youngsters
opportunity,
fans
feel
Warner
has
been
handed
a
raw
deal.
The
former
skipper
on
Thursday
(September
30
evening
posted
a
message
on
social
media
that
has
seen
the
debate
intensify
further.

Taking
to
Instagram,
Warner
posted:
“It’s
not
about
who
is
real
to
your
face,
It’s
about
who
stays
real
behind
your
back.”
The
post
also
had
a
few
‘thumbs
up’ emojis.

He
also
posted
a
short
video
of
him
watching
SRH’s
game
against
Chennai
Super
Kings
on
television
and
that
has
seen
fans
further
debate
on
whether
he
should
at
least
have
been
in
the
dug-out
sharing
his
experience
with
the
young
players.

Speaking
after
the
win
against
Rajasthan
Royals
on
Monday,
SRH
coach
Trevor
Bayliss
confirmed
that
the
management
is
looking
to
give
new
players
in
the
squad
a
chance
to
make
a
name
for
themselves,
looking
at
how
the
side
cannot
make
the
playoffs
this
season.

“We
can’t
make
the
final
so
have
made
a
decision
that
we
want
the
young
players
to
experience
not
just
the
matches
but
time
at
the
ground,
around
the
set-up,
and
for
this
match
we
made
the
decision.
He
was
not
the
only
experienced
player
we
left
back
at
the
hotel,”
Bayliss
said
during
a
post-match
press
conference.

“We
have
a
number
of
young
players
that
haven’t
been
to
the
ground.
Even
as
reserves.
We
wanted
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
come
along
and
experience
that.
That
may
continue
for
a
few
more
games
yet.
We
don’t
know,”
he
added.

Further
speaking
about
Warner,
Bayliss
said:
“We
have
got
to
sit
down
in
a
day
or
two
and
pick
a
team
and
pick
a
squad
of
18.
That’s
just
the
way
it
is.
Dave
is
obviously
watching
the
game
back
in
the
hotel
and
giving
the
guys
support.
It
is
the
same
as
everyone
else.
We
are
all
in
this
together.
“Look
that
certainly
has
not
been
discussed.

It
is
something
that…
this
is
the
last
year
before
a
major
auction.
Those
decisions
will
be
made
further
down
the
line.
He
has
been
a
great
contributor
to
Hyderabad
Sunrisers
for
a
number
of
years
now.
He
is
very
well
respected
with
the
number
of
runs
he
has
scored.
I
am
sure
he
has
got
a
lot
more
runs
in
him
yet
in
the
IPL.”

The
Sunrisers
Hyderabad
had
already
bowed
out
of
contention
for
a
berth
in
the
IPL
2021
play-offs
and
they
made
a
comeback
of
sorts
with
a
win
over
Rajasthan
Royals,
the
high-flying
Chennai
Super
Kings
ended
any
ambition
of
going
up
in
the
table
defeating
them
easily
on
Thursday.

It
has
been
rumoured
that
the
Hyderabad
outfit
will
go
a
complete
overhaul
of
their
squad
during
the
auction
to
be
held
in
December
with
only
a
handful
of
players
getting
the
retention
and
Warner
is
not
being
mentioned
among
those
names.
