Kavya Maran will not spend a single penny on THIS player in IPL auction…Know why there are ‘grudges’

New Delhi: The mega auction of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be held this time on 24 and 25 November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 1574 players have been registered for this. It includes 1165 Indian and 409 foreign players. The list includes a total of 1,224 uncapped, 320 capped and 30 cricketers from associate countries. The list also includes 48 capped Indians.

This time, the CEO of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise Kavya Maran would like to buy a strong player. But she will not bet on former Australian opener David Warner even by mistake. Hyderabad has retained captain Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Reddy. This franchise still has Rs 45 crore left in its purse.

Let us tell you that under his captaincy, David Warner made the Hyderabad team champion in 2016. But in the middle of the 2021 season, there was a fierce dispute between Warner and the SRH franchise. Citing poor form, Hyderabad took away the captaincy from Warner in the middle of the season and gave it to Kane Williamson. Apart from this, he was also dropped from the team. After the season, Warner had expressed his displeasure. He felt very bad. Warner had said that he should have talked to me before taking the decision. I was not going to bite him.

After this, Delhi Capitals bought Warner in the 2022 season. But now he has entered the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore. In such a situation, the SRH franchise would not want to bet on him.
