David Warner won’t feature in IPL 2025 as he failed to get a buyer in the auction held in Jeddah in November. Back in 2009, he broke into the league with Delhi Capitals (DC) and went on to serve the franchise until 2013. In 2014, Warner became a part of the Orange Army and won the coveted trophy as skipper of the side in 2016.
