Bengaluru, Feb 12: Australia’s swashbuckling opener David Warner is delighted to start afresh in the IPL at Delhi Capitals months after a bitter parting with Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was, in fact, a win-win situation for both Warner and the JSW and GMR co-owned franchise.
As the 2022 IPL mega auction day progressed, the DC franchise’s co-owner Parth Jindal found it increasingly difficult to believe that he has acquired the services of a “legend” at Rs 6.25 crore.
As far as Warner is concerned, his relation with SRH turned sour after the star batter was sacked as captain midway through the 2021 season and eventually dropped from the playing XI.
Warner started his IPL journey with the Delhi franchise and was the first buy of the for the Capitals. Warner said, “I am coming back to where it all started. I am really excited. Can’t wait to see you all very soon over in India. Looking forward to it.”
Speaking about his team’s major buys, Jindal said, “Absolutely excited to buy David Warner. I cannot believe that we got such a legend at Rs 6.25 crore. With Warner and Prithvi Shaw opening the batting, it will be an explosive start to every single Delhi Capitals innings.” (PTI)
