He also won the Orange Cap three times and became one of the franchise’s highest run-scorers with over 4000 runs in 95 matches.Apart from his performances, Warner became hugely popular with fans due to his strong association with Telugu reels and “Orange Army”.The relationship between Warner and SRH began to sour after the team struggled badly during the 2021 IPL season.
