IPL 2025: David Warner failed to find a franchise at the last conducted IPL 2025 mega auction. He had set a base price of Rs 2 crore, but no team availed of his services. In IPL, David Warner, who represented Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals in the past, was released by DC ahead of the auction. The Delhi Capitals released him to focus on making a fresh core team for the coming season. While David Warner was not bought in the IPL mega auction, the Southpaw is leading the Sydney Thunder in the ongoing BBL tournament. Warner can certainly join as an injury replacement for any of the 10 IPL franchises, but let us check out 3 teams where he is better suited.
3 teams that can pick David Warner for IPL 2025
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings could be one of the strongest contenders for David Warner. At 38, Warner might find a spot in the team as an opener. This franchise has historically placed its trust in Australian players, and with Australian coach Ricky Ponting on their side, he could advocate for bringing Warner into the team.
Delhi Capitals
Having already played 91 matches for the Delhi Capitals, scoring 2,582 runs with an impressive average, Warner has a strong record with the Capitals, and his past association may drive the franchise to bring him back. The Capitals already have a decent top-order and Warner’s inclusion might add more firepower to their batting department.
Chennai Super Kings
Although it might surprise some, Chennai Super Kings could be interested in David Warner. The team values experienced players and might see Warner as a valuable addition for IPL 2025. Given Warner’s extensive T20 experience, he could provide balance to the team by stabilising innings and delivering aggressive performances when needed. His inclusion could be strategic for Chennai Super Kings, completing their existing lineup.
