The ground played host to successive Test matches in February during the England visit followed by the underlying leg of the progressing IPL.
"Frankly, it's stunning," Warner said after the game. "It looks ghastly on TV however you need to offer credit to the guardians. They have had a ton of cricket here so it's incredibly hard for them to get this wicket physically functional. Since I've begun playing in Chennai it's constantly been there however it's extremely hard for them.
"It's not their (caretakers) shortcoming that the wicket is this way. You had the Indian Test arrangement against England and exactly the same thing in Australia we had a ton of games on similar pitches so the keepers have a troublesome work. As players we understand what we need to do, there are no reasons. It's not ideal but rather by the day's end we are appreciative to go out there and play on these wickets since it's exceptionally trying for them, they don't have any rest. We must be experts and adjust."
SRH sprung a shock with the new ball, giving new ball obligations to left-arm spinner Abhishek Sharma. The get nearly taken care of when Mayank Agarwal hit one directly to profound midwicket, just for Rashid Khan to grass the opportunity. "There wasn't actually any idea behind it," Warner said on selecting to open with the young person. "We were in the circle there and I just said to Abhishek 'you got the first finished'.
"I just had a gut sense (since) they had recently come from Wankhede and it's been a decent wicket there. I thought 'you know what, should toss him the ball and perceive how he goes'. Those two people like speed on the new ball so I just idea I'll welcome on Abhishek and we nearly had a wicket in the first finished."
Warner additionally demonstrated that pacer T Natarajan could be out for a drawn out timeframe. A knee injury has seen the left-armer miss SRH's last two games with Khaleel Ahmed filling in and the rigid bio-bubble rules have just made it harder for him to venture out and have examines.
"He clearly has an irritated knee," Warner noted. "Given the conditions in these air pockets, on the off chance that he proceeds to get an output, he clearly needs to sit out for 7 days and get once more into isolate, so we are simply checking right now. The physios are putting forth a valiant effort to investigate yet he clearly must have a sweep eventually."
