David Warner: David Warner who was a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team till 2021 was not retained by his team.

While fans were anticipating that Warner would cross the 10 Crore bracket, the player who had a base price of 2 Crores, joined Delhi Capitals for a price of 6.25 Crores. Warner has around 5500 runs in IPL and played 8 games in IPL 2021 where he scored 195 runs.
