IPL Auction 2022: 'A Caged Animal In David Warner Playing Under Ponting For DC' Says Chris Morris

Speaking exclusively on BYJU’S CRICKET LIVE – IPL AUCTION SPECIAL, South Africa all-rounder Chris Morris shares his thoughts after David Warner was sold to Delhi Capitals for INR 6.25 crore and how the Australia opener will compliment Prithvi Shaw at the top.

 “Absolutely, I think they will complement each other beautifully well. Yeah, look, I think Dave (David Warner) playing under Ricky and with his leadership and his guidance, I think you got a caged animal. I think Dave absolutely would like to prove a lot of naysayers wrong in the IPL. There is no doubt about his cricketing ability but with what happened off the field at the SRH, I think he’d look to do well for his new franchise. I think he’s going to be quite a handful to deal with because when you are playing for an Australian legend, and you slightly are also becoming an Australian legend – you obviously want to do well for that person. 

"He also compliments Prithvi very well because Prithvi is also another guy who plays quite aggressively, so you know if one of them are top on the day – it’s going to be fireworks. I think it’s a great buy for Delhi if you’re playing especially at the Kotla, it’s going to be explosive part for bowlers to be looking for answers because when those two get going – it could be fireworks.” added, Chris Morris.

Speaking exclusively on BYJU’S CRICKET LIVE – IPL AUCTION SPECIAL, Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar talks about how Shreyas Iyer is the right buy for KKR, "Well there were five teams who were eyeing for him. Few of them were going for a number 4 batter. The team that was going to be desperate for a player and a captain were obviously going to outbid the others. The others phased out and I see Pant already slotted as captain.  The team that was looking for a captain and at No 4 because KKR's middle order has been a problem. So good call and right choice.”
