David Warner had to leave India tour midway due to elbow injury
Australia’s star batsman David Warner has recovered from an elbow injury and has returned to India to join his teammates for the three-match ODI series starting on Friday in Mumbai. Warner returned home midway through the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after fracturing his elbow during the second Test in Delhi, during which he was also diagnosed with the injury and was replaced by Matthew Renshaw in the playing XI for the second innings. .

Warner on Tuesday shared a selfie of himself waiting in a car in Mumbai traffic. “Out and out,” the Aussie wrote alongside the picture, in which some of his fans are also posing from a different vehicle.
Warner struggled during three successful innings with the bat in the four-match Test series against India, which ended on Monday in which the hosts won 2-1 and thus retained the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
India and Australia, however, will clash in the final of the ICC World Test Championship in a few months. Despite his struggles, Australia have kept faith in Warner with their head coach Andrew McDonald saying the opener is part of their WTC plan.

McDonald said of Warner, “I think you work through that conversation, and how each player ends up is always different.” “Some want to go out a certain way, and others are fine with potentially being out of favour. But for the moment, Dave is fully in our plans for the WTC final, that one-day series (against India) Coming back to Australia, he has recovered from his injury, so we’ll see Dave back in Australian colors on March 17th and we’ll go from there.”
Meanwhile, Australia will be without their regular skipper Pat Cummins for the ODI series as he has decided to stay at home following the death of his mother. Steve Smith, who led Australia in two Tests, has been named as their captain.
