You Need To Perform When It Matters – David Warner
David Warner took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) to express his disagreement, emphasizing the importance of the performance in the final match. Warner underlined the significance of delivering when it matters, highlighting the unpredictability of sports.
“I like MK, issue is it does not matter what’s on paper. At the end of the day you need to perform when it matters. That’s why they call it a final. That’s the day that counts and it can go either way, that’s sports. 2027 here we come,” Warner tweeted.
