‘Keen on carrying on IPL form’
Australian opener and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner on Friday said that he is keen on continuing his current sparkling form in the IPL to the upcoming Champions Trophy in England.
"I hope so. Obviously, I am going to give my best all the time. For me, the last four months has been very effective. I want to keep that momentum going. Not just for me but playing for my country as well," Warner told PTI here.
Noting that Australia has got a balanced side, led by captain Steve Smith, Warner said he's looking forward to the tournament.
"It's going to be a great tournament. You have to win every game basically to win the tournament. So for us, we are going to go out there and be positive. We got a great, balanced team, led by Smithie. We have positive thoughts and I really look forward to it," he said.
Talking about the IPL, he said the fact that the grand finale of the IPL will be held in Hyderabad also give them the extra incentive to do well.
The Sunrisers are currently placed at fourth position in the points table with 13 points and Warner hoped that his team would finish second before the play-offs.
"Obviously, we need to win a couple of more games before we secure the top-four. Hopefully, positively, may be finishing top two. We know that we are a good team and a day game as well. So, for us it's about going out there and playing our best cricket and obviously starting as well as we can," he said.
