Under the stewardship of David Warner, Australia have done really well in the shortest format of the game. As a result, there are talks of the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain to take over as the captain of the T20I team on a full-time basis, something that David Warner is coy on.

When asked about whether he would like to be the permanent captain of the T20I side, he refrained from asserting his interests initially and left it to current captain Steve Smith and his decision.

“At the end of the day, it’s up to Steve,” Warner told reporters on Tuesday.

“If he thinks his workloads are too high and he doesn’t feel like he can do that, I’m sure he’ll put his hand up and step aside.

He, however, stated that he is open to the idea of becoming the captain of the Australia T20I team, before adding that their performances in the T20Is have been “fantastic” after a mentally grueling Ashes series.

“We spoke about one of us in the leadership group staying back and leading the (T20) team, and obviously I put my hand up for that.

“It’s been fantastic. A few of us were mentally cooked after the (Ashes) Test series and it’s just great for those guys to go over to South Africa … and inject a lot of younger guys and guys who are in form (into the T20 side).”

The final match of T20I series will be held at Eden Park, a ground infamous for its almost inscrutably small boundaries. David Warner, however, feels that picking early wickets is the key to succeed in the ground.

“You probably have to have obscure fields,” Warner said.

“You’ve just got to find a way to get one or two wickets in the first six (overs), it’s as simple as that.”

The pitch in the final will be the same as the one used in the last game where Australia chased down a mammoth 244 in 18.5 overs. The left-handed opener, however, believes that pitch has since dried up a little bit.
