Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) surprised netizens with their decision to sack David Warner as captain. SRH are currently at the eighth spot in the points table with only one win in six matches.

SRH will be captained by Kane Williamson for the rest of the tournament. They announced the decision through a press release and posted the update on Twitter.

"Sunrisers Hyderabad would like to announce that Kane Williamson will be taking over the captaincy for tomorrow's match and for the remainder of the IPL 2021.

Warner had led the SRH franchise to a title win in the IPL 2016, beating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final. He also led them to playoffs last season after a poor start to the season. But this season, SRH have struggled big time.

Here are the reactions of the Twitterati after the update:

Unless this decision came from David Warner, it is outright disrespectful to throw him under the bus mid-season. https://t.co/tkj8YJaWZw

David Warner is one of the greatest IPL batsman without any doubt, the way he's been consistent in this league is just next level. Literally led from the front all these years. Won SRH the trophy in 2016. Unreal disrespect after one bad season.

Warner is one of 4 batsmen in IPL history to average 40+ with SR 140+. Absolute legend of IPL, who won SRH their only title. Out of form this season & a ballsy move by SRH to not only strip Warner of captaincy but also announcing openly Warner's going to be dropped. I'm stunned!

SRH clown management should have some shame , they won their only title under Warner , he lead them to play offs multiple times. Has been the top IPL batsman over past years and carried them. But now they may even drop him from team let alone captaincy . Unreal Disrespect pic.twitter.com/3SgMmkZAZp

Warner should feel disrespected and ill treated and rightly so. Unreal disrespect this to one of the greats of the IPL, after a poor run of some 6-7 games.
