IPL 2019: Highest paid player from each of the 8 teams

#5 David Warner - Sunrisers Hyderabad

David Warner

Salary – INR 12.5 Crore

David Warner missed the last IPL season owing to his ban and will be looking forward to having a go in the IPL 2019 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was retained by the Hyderabad team along with Bhubaneshwar Kumar and was given the captaincy of the team.

Warner took Sunrisers to their title victory in 2016 and earned a great fan following in Hyderabad. He was retained by Sunrisers for a sum of INR 12.5 Crore which makes him the highest paid player in the Sunrisers Camp.

The second highest paid player is Manish Pandey who was bought by Punjab in the previous IPL auctions for INR 11 Crore. Incidentally, he also will be looking forward to making IPL 2019 count after a below-par performance in the last IPL.

David Warner though is almost a sure-shot selection to the Australian World Cup team, but he will be more interested in showing the Australian selectors how destructive he can be with the IPL 2019 season and earn his place in the World Cup squad.
