IPL 2022: I love to open batting with Prithvi Shaw, says DC's David Warner
"I am absolutely loving it (opening innings with Shaw). Look how fast his hands are and his eyes are incredible. He's taken my quick twos out of the equation because he keeps dealing with boundaries. It's good that I don't have to run too much. Well, he sets the tone for us from ball one. In this format, it is very rare to see two guys go off, so that's something we keep at the back of our minds i.e. to keep playing positive and to the best of our abilities," Warner said on Cricket Live on Star Sports.

Formula 1: Contract discussions with Ferrari were 'straightforward', says Sainz
The Spanish driver was asked whether there were any hitches in getting the contract signed. "Super-straightforward, to be honest - it's been easygoing I guess; after such a good first year that we had, just getting it agreed� was fairly easy for both parties, and I guess just now having the opportunity to announce in a place like Imola, in front of the tifosi on a weekend like this, I think it was ideal. We put together a good plan for the announcement being here also," he said.
