David Warner’s cricketing journey began in New South Wales, where he showcased his talent at a young age. His hard work and dedication paid off when he made his international debut for Australia in 2009. Since then, he has established himself as one of the most prolific run-scorers in the world, known for his aggressive batting and ability to perform under pressure. Warner has spent time playing both international and domestic cricket. He has played for various franchises even outside the IPL, including Durham, Middlesex, Northern Districts, Sydney Thunder, Sydney Sixers, St Lucia Stars, Winnipeg Hawks, and Karachi Kings.
Warner is one of IPL’s biggest legends and has played in every single edition of IPL apart from the 2008, 2018, and 2025 (current) seasons. Despite having such a long career, Warne has represented just two franchises in the Indian Premier League, i.e., the Delhi Capitals (originally called the Delhi Daredevils) and the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Warner was signed by the Delhi Daredevils pre-auction, and while he played just seven games in 2009, he managed to impress the management. He slowly started building his place in the team and soon became a regular for the Delhi Daredevils while also being one of their most important players.

David Warner represented the Delhi Daredevils from 2009 to 2013 before returning to the auction during the 2014 IPL mega auction. This time, it was Sunrisers Hyderabad who managed to sign the talented Australian, parting with a winning bid of ₹5.5 Crore to do so. Warner ended up having a very long-standing relationship with them, playing for the Orange Army from 2014 to 2021 and guiding them to victory in the 2016 edition of the Indian Premier League. He won the coveted ‘Orange Cap’ award three times while playing for them, and he was the top scorer in the 2015, 2017, and 2019 Indian Premier League seasons.

SRH ended up releasing Warner ahead of the 2022 IPL mega auction, and this time, Delhi Capitals sought to bring him home. They managed to win the bidding and signed him for ₹6.25 Crore. Warner played for three seasons for them, but his involvement in the team during the 2024 season was pretty minimal, which is why it was not surprising when DC decided to release him ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Despite his past feats, Warner ended up going unsold in the 2025 auction. However, it is with the help of these IPL contracts that Warner has managed to accumulate a net worth of around ₹120 Crore during his career.
David Warner’s journey from a young cricketer in Australia to an international superstar is a testament to his talent, resilience, and hard work. While the 2025 IPL mega auction may not have gone as planned, his legacy in cricket remains intact. As he continues to break records and inspire the next generation of cricketers, it will be fascinating to see how his net worth evolves in the coming years and what new opportunities await him in the world of cricket. Just because he was unsold in the 2025 auction does not mean his IPL career has come to an end, and it will be very interesting to see which teams decide to go after the Australian next year.
