The 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is currently taking place between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The Rohit Sharma-led side won the toss and opted to field first.

DC skipper David Warner has continued his fine form in the ongoing IPL 2023. After having three decent outings, the Southpaw is batting decently well in the game against Mumbai Indians. Opening the batting, he first provided a great support to Prithvi Shaw, who tried to take the bowlers to the cleaners.

However, after the wicket of Shaw, DC lost momentum and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. But Warner has stood like a wall and has held the one end. Although his strike rate is a little low, he has made sure that he set the platform to unleash himself at the end.

Warner was batting at 51* at the time of writing this piece and had scored 6 fours so far. His innings not only have stabled the DC innings but he also achieved a massive feat to his name. The batter completed 3000 runs as the skipper in the league and became the fastest to achieve the milestone. He surpassed Virat Kohli’s tally to achieve the feat. The RCB batter scored 3000 runs as a skipper in 81 innings.
