Former Australian captain Aaron Finch doesn’t believe David Warner has played his last IPL game. The left-hander scored a solitary run against RCB but did not play against LSG. Warner scored 168 runs in eight matches of IPL 2024 at an average of 21 and a strike rate of 134.40.
The left-hander has been a consistent performer in the IPL as he has amassed 6565 runs in 214 matches at an average of 40.52 and a strike rate of 139.77.
Warner has all the experience under his belt and it will be interesting to note if DC will retain him before the IPL mega auction.
Aaron Finch said on ESPNCricinfo, “A big auction is coming up next time (this year-end). I think there would be a team that would love to have his (Warner’s) experience, be it in playing eleven, or as a replacement or as someone to nurture younger talent. I would not say it is his last IPL game, but he has had a poor season.”
On the other hand, former Australian skipper Michael Clarke feels Warner will get picked in the auction but he might not go for huge money.
“He (Warner) could get picked up at the auction, he just might not get the money he is used to. He is at that stage of his career when he is not performing at his absolute best and you cannot expect the same money. I would not be surprised if he is not picked up.”
Warner missed six matches for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing season due to an injury. Furthermore, Jake Fraser-McGurk was able to grab his chance in his absence.
DC won seven matches and lost as many in IPL 2024 and has been knocked out of the playoffs race.
