Australian opening batter David Warner has a new home in the Indian Premier League. The former Sunrisers Hyderabad captain was bought in the IPL mega auction by Delhi Capitals for Rs 6.25 crore and that brings the curtains down on his long stint with SRH. Warner, who had led the franchise to the IPL title, fell out with the team management last season, which saw him getting stripped off captaincy too. New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson was handed the duty mid-season. The Kiwi batter had shouldered the responsibility in the 2018 season too, when Warner was serving a ban due to his involvement in the 'Sandpapergate' controversy, and taken the team to the final.
