"Jake has been good. He always had the talent. Also, Abhishek has been really good.

On the other day against SRH, he played well ," said Warner.

On the Impact Player rule, Warner said that it is more about how teams adapt to it and pointed out that it helps in maximising on players sitting at the bench.

"But it is taking all-rounders out," he cautioned.

Talking about the high-scoring IPL games this year, Warner said that if great batters play on fine surfaces and smaller boundaries, it will result in big scores.

"Wickets been good, flat, very hard. It is not limited to Bengaluru only, now in Hyderabad, Kolkata as well. Hyderabad has always been a great surface," he added.

Speaking on his team's performance, he said that the team is not where it should be right now and they have to make improvements with both bat and ball.

"We got to win the remaining games for qualifying for playoffs," he added.

On his team's inconsistent performance with the ball, Warner said that sometimes, they miss their mark and execution.

"If we get wickets early, we are a very dangerous bowling unit. We have a very great bowling attack," he concluded.

DC's next game is against Gujarat Titans at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.
