IPL 2021 had to be suspended on May 4 after four of the participating franchises were affected by the virus.
Warner endured a bitter experience at IPL 2021 during which he was removed as skipper of the SunRisers Hyderabad team and replaced by Kane Williamson.
The ball-tampering fiasco in South Africa had led to a review of Australia's win-at-all-cost team culture, besides the ban on the three players.
There were reports that Australia's premier batsman David Warner and commentator Michael Slater engaged in a physical brawl in the Maldives.
David Warner was removed from the captaincy during IPL 2021 and was also dropped from SRH's XI in their last game against Rajasthan Royals.
Warner took to social media to share an emotional message sent by his three daughters back home in Australia.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was announced as Warner's replacement as SRH's skipper after the team made a dismal start to the season, winning just once in seven matches.
Warner, on Saturday, was replaced by Williamson as the Hyderabad outfit announced a change in captaincy midway through the season.
They dropped David Warner, SRH's most consistent scorer, in a bid to rejig their lineup. But the issue persisted. They brought in all-rounder Mohammad Nabi to provide depth, but he was hardly used as a bowler with Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson firing from both ends.
Jos Buttler cracked a 64-ball 124, while skipper Sanju Samson made 48 off 33 balls as RR posted a challenging 220 for three.
Since his debut for SRH in 2014, Warner has missed 20 IPL matches for the franchise but has been dropped from the playing XI for the first time
SRH have been criticised for not including West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder in the playing eleven.
Having won just one game so far, the Hyderabad outfit is languishing at the bottom of the points table.
David Warner took 55 balls for his 57-run knock against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.
Warner combined with Manish Pandey to put up a century stand which comprised half-century scores of both the batters, off 83 balls. SRH did revive from their early blow, but the conservative approach left them with 128 onboard for the loss of just one wicket at the start of the 18th over.
Warner scored his first half-century this season with a knock of 57 runs off 55 balls.
Sunrisers have lost three matches on the trot at the MA Chidambaram Stadium track here, which has the reputation of aiding the spinners.
Warner also praised 'young' Abhishek Sharma, who bowled the first over for SRH returned with figures of 2/24 in his four overs.
In India TV's post-match show 'Cricket Dhamaka', former India women's team captain Anjum Chopra said that there will be conversations in the SRH camp on the way their batsmen got out in the game.
