The highest fourth scorer of Indian Premier League (IPL) was not sold at the players auction before the 2025 season. Although the hitter was in a large touch in the Super League of Pakistan (PSL) 2025, accumulating 368 races in 11 games at a strike rate of 153.97, it failed (MLC) 2025.

Upon reaching his legacy in the Rich League in cash, Warner debuted in 2009 for the Daredevils of Delhi (now Capitals of Delhi) and continued to present for them until the IPL 2013. He scored 1,435 races in 55 games in his five -year period with the franchise. But his best moment in IPL 2024 was for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Warner received franchise leadership in the following season, and guided the team at its bachelorette title at the 2016 IPL. He continued using SRH colors until 2021 before moving to DC.

The left -hander has also won the Orange Cap Thrice, in 2015, 2017 and 2019, which is the greatest amount for any batter in the history of the IPL so far. The player last appeared for DC at IPL 2024 and scored 168 races in eight games at an attack rate of 134.40.

It may be necessary a player like Warner, who has such a rich talent in the race in the next season. Let’s take a look at three IPL teams that could seek to include David Warner on his team before the IPL 2026.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) champions have been hunting to solve their opening problems for a long time. Previously, they had struggled to finish their pair of openings and have been seen making enough changes during a single edition. His third winning season of the title is an exception, when the English opener Phil Salt and veteran Sunil Narine would provide a whirlwind start of their entries in almost all the tournament matches.

But Narine could not replicate his burning form with the bat in the following season and scored only 246 races in 12 games this season at an average of 22.36. The other two players, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (74 races in five games) and Kock Quinton (152 races in eight games), whom KKR tested in the opening position, could not establish his place when presenting remarkable performance.

They also had a dilemma with respect to the opening slot and tested three combinations that involved Wicktkeeper-Batter of Estrella Kl Rahul, Vice-Capitán FAF du Plessis and the young Abhishek Porel.

Delhi Capitals could also show interest in including the 38 -year -old player in his team for IPL 2026.
