00:00The handsome David Warner.

00:02Let me tell you, he is a very aggressive batsman.

00:05He has a very good record in both T20 and Tests.

00:09And it is said that he plays very well in power play.

00:13His base price is 2 crores and let's start his bidding.

00:172 crores.

00:182 crores for David Warner.

00:202.5 crores.

00:223 crores.

00:244 crores.

00:264.2 crores.

00:284.5 crores.

00:315 crores.

00:335.1 crores.

00:355.2 crores.

00:376 crores.

00:396.5 crores.

00:416.5 crores.

00:437 crores.

00:457 crores for David Warner.

00:477.5 crores.

00:497.5 crores for David Warner.

00:528 crores for David Warner.

00:558 crores.

00:578.2 crores for David Warner.

01:018.2 crores.

01:038.5 crores for David Warner.

01:068.5 crores.

01:089 crores.

01:109 crores for David Warner.

01:129 crores.

01:149 crores for David Warner.

01:21I will use a right to match.

01:24He wants to use the right to match here, Ankit.

01:26Ankit, why?

01:28Because if David Warner is found in 9 crores,

01:31and comes back to my team, what could be better than that?

01:33And I want the Delhi Capitals as openers.

01:36And there is no Rishabh Pant.

01:39It's better if the captain has the potential.

01:41The captain can also handle it.

01:42So, I will use the right to match.

01:44Now, it's up to him.

01:45If he wants to increase the ball, he can.

01:47If the auction, the mega auction,

01:49is ready in 3-4 years,

01:51if you see David Warner as a captain for 3-4 years,

01:55I don't think it's right.

01:57No, no, I'm not seeing him for 3-4 years.

01:58But it's possible that I'm taking David right now.

02:02Because if you release him in the middle,

02:04then you will have to pay someone expensive.

02:06No, I don't have to pay anyone expensive.

02:07I will buy anyone and groom anyone.

02:10That's a nice thing that I've become Akshar Patel in my team.

02:13Or I can groom anyone and give them captainship.

02:15Because I want to see this season.

02:18I'm definitely thinking about 3 years.

02:20But I think I will use David Warner right to match.

02:23But Ankit, tell me one thing.

02:25Why did you buy David Warner in the RTM?

02:29See, I was thinking that I can buy David Warner for 8-10 crores.

02:34And I put the right to match card and I had to put it anyway.

02:37I would also like to tell the audience that

02:39a new rule of right to match card has come.

02:42That if I use the right to match card of the Delhi team,

02:46then the other team was bidding,

02:47i.e. Shubham who was bidding can increase the bid in the last.

02:51And he will tell his final bid that

02:53no, David Warner will not go in 9.5 but in 10-11 crores.

02:57And if I agreed to that bid, then I would have bought it.

03:00Otherwise, at that price, David Warner would have got Shubham.

03:04But in 9.5, I don't think Warner is a bad deal.

03:08I don't have a captain right now.

03:10I want a captain.

03:11Yes, definitely, we removed Warner and made a captain.

03:13You can think that we made Rishabh Pant.

03:16But at that time, we had thought that

03:18this is our strategy for now and we will reveal the rest later.

03:21Perfect, perfect.

03:23You explained quite well

03:25that why you wanted to increase the price of David Warner.

03:28But it's okay, David Warner is sold at a very good price.
