Angelo Mathews IPL story: 724 runs, 27 wickets, one match-winning all-round package Sri Lankan veteran Angelo Mathews turned six IPL seasons into a compact highlight reel, stacking 724 runs at a brisk strike-rate of 125 and taking 27 wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 29.30. The right-hander’s bat did the louder talking—he faced 575 balls and found the boundary 73 times (44 fours, 29 sixes) while registering one half-century and a career-best 65. Mathews’ most recent stint came with Delhi Capitals in 2017, capping stints that also took him to Pune Warriors and Kolkata Knight Riders between 2009 and 2015. With ball in hand he operated at a tidy economy of 8.18 and twice rattled three scalps in an innings, peaking with 4 for in a single spell. Across 41 batting innings and 44 bowling innings, Mathews proved why franchises kept calling—he could finish an over or finish a chase, all in one compact frame.

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.
