The Australian took over the leadership from Kane Williamson in 2020 but lost his opening game of the new campaign to Kolkata Knight Riders
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been urged to support captain David Warner after the side slumped to defeat in their opening Indian Premier League game of 2021 against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The Australia batter is a season and one game into his second spell in charge of the side, having previously led the franchise between 2015 and 2017.
That run including inspiring Sunrisers to their only IPL crown in 2017.
Warner was displaced as skipper after the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal in 2018 but replaced Kane Williamson last year.
From 62 matches at the helm he has guided Sunrisers to 34 wins, 27 defeats and one tie, giving him a victory percentage of 55.64.
But with the New Zealand skipper still on board and a host of other international players around, Warner has a wealth of experience to call upon.
Jason Holder, who led the West Indies Test team for six years, told Sports Today: "Well, for me it's about buying. You got to get players around you to buy into your plans.
"I think a strong leader has strong support. It's important that players rally around their captain. For us at SRH, it's really important to rally around David and give him as much support as we possibly can. David has to be the ultimate decision-maker.
"He has got so much of responsibility on his shoulders and he needs people around to help and support him. So that's where I guess myself, Kane, Jonny, Bhuvneshwar, Sandeep Sharma for Indian players at least and Vijay Shankar, Kedar Jadhav who have got international experience.
"He has got really good resources in terms of experience around him and it's just to us to come together and help him get the best of the players and help the franchises to be successful."
