"David Warner has kick-started Delhi Capitals' Indian Premier League campaign, setting the platform for an impressive win over defending champions Chennai Super Kings with a quick-fire fifty in Visakhapatnam.
It took a world-class catch to dismiss the 37-year-old opener but he had already set the tone for Capitals after a pair of defeats.
With Prithvi Shaw (43 off 27) Warner had put on 93 at ten-an-over for the first wicket. Rishabh Pant (51 off 32) built on that as Capitals made 5-191, Mitch Marsh chipping in with 18 off 12.
Warner smashed three sixes and five fours in his sparkling 35-ball 52. He was undone by a stunning one-handed catch at short fine leg by Matheesha Pathirana as he looked to steer another boundary off Mustafizur Rahman."

Re: Warner's retirement announcement.
With his lifetime leadership ban successfully reviewed, David Warner will again captain the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash
'Sydney Thunder have confirmed David Warner as their captain for KFC BBL|14, assigning a new title to the opener less than a fortnight after his lifetime leadership ban was lifted.
Warner successfully appealed his captaincy sanction last month, originally handed to him by Cricket Australia for his role in the 2018 sandpaper scandal.
...
It's a full circle moment for Warner, who 14 years ago was named the Thunder's foundation captain.'

[Feel a bit sorry for Chris Green... Maybe Green can still take care of LBW reviews. Warner clearly has no clue about how that all works.]

Re: Warner's retirement announcement.
Should be back in the Test team, too, shortly. Deputy-vice-captain, I guess, behind Cummins and BradSmith.
