IPL 2022: 10 players who are turning out to be bargain picks for their teams
The 15th edition of the cash-rich league have been a grand success so far
3. David Warner – Delhi Capitals ( INR 6.25 crores)
David Warner, the fiery Australian, returned to the franchise where it all began for him in the IPL, the Delhi Capitals. After a bidding war, Warner was sold for INR 6.25 crores. Delhi secured a like-for-like replacement for Dhawan in the form of another aggressive left-handed opener Warner.
The only overseas player to score more than 5,000 runs in the IPL was left high and dry by Sunrisers Hyderabad last year and was dethroned from the captain’s position. Looking for redemption this year, David has already scored three match-winning innings for Delhi. Scoring at a fiery strike rate of 157.55, the pocket dynamo has scored 219 runs so far in the five innings that he has played. Warner has also scored three back-to-back fifties for the Capitals with scores of 66, 61*, and 60.
Warner brings not only his fearless batting but also his decision-making experience to the table in this year’s IPL. Rishabh Pant has been seen consulting David Warner before making any important decisions. Young Indian bowlers look to David at mid-on and mid-off for guidance and strategies against the international blokes.
