Veteran Australian batsman David Warner has gone unsold at the IPL 2025 mega auction. Despite registering for the auction at a base price of INR 2 crore, Warner failed to attract any bids, possibly for what could be his last appearance in the IPL auction.
Warner's IPL journey began in 2009 when he was signed by Delhi Capitals, where he played until 2013. He then joined Sunrisers Hyderabad for the 2014 season and represented the franchise until 2021. During his time at Sunrisers, Warner became one of the best batsmen and captains in the IPL. Under his leadership, Sunrisers Hyderabad won their first IPL title in 2016, with Warner scoring an impressive 848 runs that season.
Warner missed the 2018 season due to a year-long ban imposed by Cricket Australia for his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal. He returned to Delhi Capitals in 2022 and also captained the team in IPL 2023 when Rishabh Pant was unavailable.
In total, Warner has played 184 IPL matches, scoring 6,565 runs, including four centuries and 62 half-centuries. He is the highest run-scorer among overseas batsmen in the IPL.
