David Warner has always enjoyed a bit of a lip on the pitch, and he didn’t miss a chance during his stint in the commentary box on Fox Cricket either

With the Australian test contingent not involved in New Zealand due to the South Africa tour – which has since been canceled – Warner was an expert commentator for Fox Cricket

After Maxwell became the seventh bowler introduced in the attack by Aaron Finch, Warner didn’t miss the opportunity to highlight the versatile player’s IPL bonanza – a lazy $ A252 million

“This is also not a bad result in the IPL auction for the ‘Big Show’, said Warner, innocently enough

“Surprisingly, you are let out of your franchise and you get a lot more after you get released,” he joked

The Australian’s last IPL campaign was disastrous, as he only completed 108 runs in 1542, with a strike rate of 10,188, and was not selected by Kings XI Punjab

Maxwell earned A2 $ 2 million for this campaign, but didn’t hit a single six, when his nine fours were effectively worth A $ 244,444 each

This season is also fresh in the memory, having only happened in October and November

The Royal Challengers Bangalore, however, are clearly willing to treat him as an anomaly – and backed the all-rounder to the tune of A2 $ 52 million, surviving the Chennai Super Kings in a savage bidding war on Thursday night

Teams were hesitant at the start of the auction There was an excruciating wait before Maxwell’s reserve price of 200 lakh ($ 389,000) was reached, while things remained cautious until around 280 lakhs (496450 USD) when war broke out between RCB and Chennai

“We know what he’s capable of, and I’m sure there’s a bit of a wait, but I’m sure he will deliver,” he said
