David Warner, the Sunrisers Hyderabad Skipper has said that he would pay to watch AB deVilliers bat . He even joked by saying that we all want a bit of what AB deVilliers eats , and also said that he is nowhere near deVilliers. Warner added that deVilliers is a class apart and once he gets his eye in , he goes into a rocket mood in terms of scoring runs.
Warner also praised Mitchell Starc and David Miller and added that he would also pay to watch Mitchell Starc bowl and David Miller bat, though only when he is chasing .
David Warner is currently the holder of the Orange Cap and has become the first player to score more than 500 runs in IPL 8. He did so during his knock of 81 off only 52 balls against Kings X11 Punjab at Hyderabad. With this Warner became only the 4th Captain in the history of the IPL to have scored more than 500 runs in a single edition of the IPL , after Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. Sachin has done it twice in 2010 and 2011.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has kept their hopes alive for the KnockOut berth after beating Kings X11 Punjab and will now face Royal Challengers Bangalore and the result of this match will give a clearer idea of teams qualifying for the knockouts.
