In a heartwarming gesture ahead of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Delhi Capitals’ former skipper David Warner received a special gift from Ravi Kumar Sagar, founder of Achieve Academy. Sagar presented Warner with a miniature replica of the recently inaugurated Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and adorned him with a saffron shawl bearing the words ‘Jai Shri Ram’.
The moment was captured in a video posted on Sagar’s Instagram account, where Warner can be seen expressing his gratitude and saying ‘Jai Shri Ram’ after receiving the thoughtful gift. The video quickly went viral on social media, showcasing the mutual respect and admiration between Warner and his fans.

Warner, who enjoys a massive fan following in India, had previously celebrated the inauguration of the Ram Mandir on January 22, sharing his excitement on Instagram with the caption “Jai Sri Ram INDIA.”
As the IPL 2024 season approaches, Warner’s role in the Delhi Capitals franchise has evolved, with Rishabh Pant taking over the captaincy. Pant, who is making a comeback to professional cricket after 14 months following a car accident, has been declared fit by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), generating excitement among fans of Delhi Capitals.
The Delhi Capitals had a challenging season in 2023 under Warner’s captaincy, finishing second-last in the points table. However, with new additions to the squad such as Tristan Stubbs, Kumar Kushagra, Jhye Richardson, and Jake Fraser-McGurk, along with the leadership of Pant, the team is poised for a stronger performance in IPL 2024.
The Delhi Capitals will begin their IPL 2024 campaign against the Punjab Kings in Chandigarh on March 23. As fans eagerly await the start of the tournament, Warner’s gesture of receiving the model of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir has further heightened the excitement and anticipation surrounding the upcoming season.
