Warner had previously led SunRisers Hyderabad to IPL triumph in 2016 and he was the second-highest scorer in that edition, only behind then Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli.
However, midway during the 2021 season, Warner was removed as SRH captain and then he warmed the benches in the last few matches. The franchise did not retain the left-handed batter before the 2022 edition.
