Flamboyant Australian cricketer David Warner went to the Delhi Capitals at the Indian Premier League Auction (IPL) 2022 auction on Saturday in Bengaluru at a considerably low price of Rs 6.25 crore.
Twitter was shocked to see the brilliant opener go to Delhi Capitals at such a steal deal with former cricketer Wasim Jaffer remarking it was “Sarojini Market level bargain.”
“Delhi people are known to strike a bargain, but getting David Warner for just 6.25cr is a Sarojini Nagar market level bargain," Jaffer wrote.
Many agreed with Jaffer. One comment read: "It’s a heist! Delhi pulled off the biggest heist of this IPL Auction".
