Will try my best to move Sunrisers Hyderabad forward to another IPL title, reveals David Warner

"(I) don't see it as a redemption tale, I just see it as an honour to captain the Sunrisers in an IPL franchise. I've got a great relationship with the players and the staff and most importantly with the owners, and I've expressed my gratitude and I thank them for that. I'll put my thinking cap on and try my best to move us forward to another IPL title," Warner said, reported Cricbuzz.

"Obviously Kane and Bhuvi (Bhuvaneshwar Kumar) did a fantastic job without me there. And we've got a very, very good foundation there, we've got a great family. The environment the owners have created amongst the players and staff. It's great to be back and leading. Having Kane there adds so much value and knowledge of the way the game is played as well. Similarly, we rebound off each other with our ideas quite well. and obviously playing against him - it helps when you are leading a team. but from where I sit, nothing different. I still considered myself a leader when I was there last year, as I said it doesn't matter if you have a 'c' next to your name or not," said Warner.

"I think it was good for him to get that opportunity. Obviously, he's a world-class player and he was renamed vice-captain after the six-month suspension when he didn't get to come out here for the Ashes. And that's just the way the ECB handled that decision and credit to him the way he went about that Test match. He scored a lot of runs and took some wickets. It's almost like he had his heart set on going out there and delivering what he does all the time when he puts on the England cricket outfit, to be the best person he can be and play the best cricket he can.
