Akeal Hosein IPL 2023: Sunrisers Hyderabad’s left-arm mystery spinner made an eye-catching splash in his only season to date. Across a single appearance, the Trinidadian sent down 24 balls, claimed the prized scalp of one top-order batter and finished with respectable figures of 1 for 40. His economy hovered at 10 runs an over, but it was the strike-rate of 24 balls per wicket that hinted at the wicket-taking knack that has made him a T20 globetrotter. With the bat, Hosein showed fearless intent in his lone innings, smashing 16 not out from just 10 balls, striking at 160. The knock featured one crisp four and a towering six over long-on, underlining the lower-order firepower he can provide. Although the 2023 campaign offered only a fleeting glimpse, the numbers tell a story of a modern-day spinner who can break partnerships and clear ropes—exactly the dual-skill package franchises crave.

David Warner IPL career – 6,565 runs at 139 strike-rate across 15 seasons Australian opener David Warner has turned the IPL into his personal highlight reel, amassing 6,565 runs from 4,697 balls since his 2009 debut with Delhi. The left-hander has blasted 663 fours and 236 sixes, translating to a boundary every 4.9 balls. Warner has reached fifty 62 times and gone past three figures on four occasions, his highest an unbeaten 126. After early seasons with Delhi Capitals, Warner became the heartbeat of Sunrisers Hyderabad, captaining the side to the 2016 title with 848 runs that year alone. He returned to Delhi Capitals in 2022 and, still going strong in 2024, has now faced 184 innings for two franchises while maintaining the same explosive intent. A solitary over with the ball is the only deviation from his batting master-class, underlining why Warner is remembered as one of the most feared IPL openers ever.
