David Warner used to open the batting for Delhi Daredevils for 5 years. After stellar performances in the Champions League T20 where Warner scored back to back centuries, he was picked up by DD in the 2009 IPL auction.
A lot of buzz was surrounding Warner as he walked out to bat for DD. Sadly, he couldn’t live up to the hype as he was averaging only 25 with the bat in his first 3 years at Delhi.
However, in 2014, Warner managed to silence his critics by scoring 410 runs. He also scored 2 hundreds during his tenure at DD. However, despite his performances, they chose not to retain him and he was put back into the auction where he was picked up by SRH. This proved a costly mistake because he scored 500+ runs in every season for SRH winning the Orange Cap a couple of times and also leading them to an IPL title.
Delhi are probably looking back and thinking why they ever considered letting Warner go.
