However, amidst the excitement and celebration, a surprising revelation caught the attention of cricket fans worldwide when David Warner, the explosive Australian batter, found himself in an unexpected situation where he discovered that he had been blocked by his former SRH franchise on social media platforms.

It is worth mentioning that Warner is the all-time leading run-scorer for SRH and has been an integral member of the franchise in the past, also leading the side to its first IPL title in 2016. Nevertheless, differences between him and the team management arose in 2021 when he was relieved of captaincy and later released from the franchise in 2022.
