The 33-year-old is virtually assured of his place in the India squad for the T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies but was out for a duck in his first match of the season against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
Having lost five out of their eight matches, Delhi Capitals will be desperate for a turnaround.
'It's gonna be completely different there. Add the natural elements as well...'
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant conceded his side was literally doing catchup all through the match after Sunrisers Hyderabad made a huge 'power play' statement, smashing 125 runs to set an IPL record in Delhi on Saturday.
David Warner hit 12 fours and three sixes in his inspired knock and completed his fifty in just 33 balls -- his 54th in the IPL and the 89th of his career.
190 seemed very much within Delhi Capital's means, but everything changed with Warner's dismissal.
Delhi Capitals showed remarkable resilience to overcome the COVID-19 crisis in their camp and hand Punjab Kings a nine-wicket thrashing in the Indian Premier League match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
