Three Teams that may go after David Warner in Indian T20 League mega auction

One of the biggest shockers in the Indian T20 League last season was David Warner being dropped as the Hyderabad captain. He was also dropped out of the playing XI in some of the matches after not being able to perform. He was released from the side ahead of the 2022 season and is now available to buy in the mega auction.

David Warner is a hot buy this season, and many teams will be looking to buy him in the auction for the multiple skills he brings in. He is an attacking player at the top of the order who plays a smart game as per the situation. Apart from that, he is a good fielder and also gives a great captaincy option.

Warner was awarded player of the series in the 20-20 World Cup 2021 and had a good Ashes that concluded recently. His performances suggest where he stands in terms of batting performances, and why he is a hot buy.

Here are three teams that can target David Warner in the ITL mega auctions.

Bangalore

Bangalore retained Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Mohammed Siraj before the start of the season. They still need to build a good team that is capable of winning them matches. They have had some ups and downs in the opening department in the past, and Warner can be the solution.

Bangalore has tried Finch and a few others in the past for the opening department, but that has not gone their way. Warner brings in a lot of experience at the top of the order.

Virat stepped down as the team's captain, and Warner can fill in his shoes. He too is an aggressive captain who puts in all his energy and brains into the team. Bangaloe will not forget the 2016 season, where Warner-led Hyderabad won the final against them.

Kolkata

Having let go of Eoin Morgan, who led them to the final last season, Kolkata will be looking to buy a good captaincy option. Kolkata has struggled since Gautam Gambhir left the team in 2018. They did play in the final last season, but it was not their best season.

Having David Warner on their side will give them a lot of weight. A player like him not just brings in the option of good captaincy and batting, he also brings great credibility. If they target him in the auction, Kolkata can not just reach the final but also win it.

Along with a powerhouse like Andre Russell, Warner will be an interesting player to look out for. The two play the most attacking game.

Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad had some great picks from the draft of released players. Hardik Pandya is their captain, Rashid Khan, and Shubman Gill are the other two players. Along with these three, Warner can fit in well. Gill will be one of their openers, and they will be looking forward to an experienced player to partner with him. Playing for various teams in a long career, David Warner has tremendous experience in his bag. It will be fun to watch these two walk out to bat together.
