David Warner's journey in the Indian Premier League was filled with a number of ups and downs. The player failed to lead the Sunrisers Hyderabad from the front and was forced to hand over the captaincy reins to Kane Williamson. The southpaw was also surprisingly benched from the team's playing eleven against the Rajasthan Royals and the star player's unceremonious exit came in as a rude shock for the franchise's fans.

With the IPL 2021 postponed, the 34-year-old is currently stranded in India as Australian players cannot travel back to their homes as the country has put a blanket ban on all passenger flights from India till May 15. The cricketer's family shared a special message for him as they await his return.

While Australia's dynamic opening batter may have a reputation of being a fiery character on the field, he is known to be a family man off the cricketing field. The champion cricketer regularly gives fans a glimpse of his personal life with his social media posts. He is often seen spending quality time with his wife and three daughters while not being on the road for his cricketing commitments. Warner's family often travels with him during the Indian Premier League, however, they could not do so for the 14th season of the cash-rich league considering the coronavirus situation in India. 

David Warner recently shared a family drawing made by his eldest daughter Ivy Mae. The 6-year-old drew all the five members of the Warner family and also wrote a special message for the cricketer. The star player's young daughter urged him to come back home at the earliest and also mentioned that the family was missing him.
