Why did Warner bat right-handed against MI?
The Australian decided to experiment with his batting during a free-hit off Shokeen's ball during the eighth over of the match. He was teeing off to hit the freehit delivery into the stands and switched to a right-handed stance.
The experiment did not really work for the DC skipper as he miscued his shot and could only get a run from the free hit.
