In the tournament opener of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Warner's innings (6) ended in an unfortunate manner as he got run-out.
Considering his eminence, Warner will go after the KKR bowlers right from the first ball.
He would aim to fetch a monumental score and complement his opening partner Jonny Bairstow.
Also, it will be interesting to see how he deals with Kuldeep and Narine.
