ALSO READ:
David Warner, even though he is now 38 years old, is still showing that he has some T20 game left in him and could still be one of the players to get a bid during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 Auction. After a disappointing performance for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, Warner was released by the team, and during the IPL 2025 Auction, he went unsold as no team bid for him. However, he has been showing some decent form as he has been playing quite a lot of franchise cricket.
In the BBL 2024-25, he scored 405 runs in 12 innings and was the second-highest scorer in the league. In the ILT20, he scored 97 runs in two matches. After that, in the PSL 2025, he scored 368 runs in 11 matches. In the MLC, he had a dip as he could only score 114 runs in six matches. But now he has found form again with a brilliant innings in The Hundred after scoring just 9 in the first match. So there could be a possibility that if he continues playing like this, he could be a pick in the auction.
