Aniket Verma IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad’s six-hitting rookie who smashed 20 maximums in a single season Aniket Verma announced himself to the IPL in 2025 with the kind of fearless stroke-play that Sunrisers Hyderabad fans will remember for years. In just 12 innings the 23-year-old stacked up 236 runs off 142 balls, striking at 166 – the kind of tempo that turned middling totals into match-winning scores. A dozen fours and a jaw-dropping 20 sixes underline how regularly he cleared the ropes, while his maiden half-century – a 74-run blitz – came when the team needed quick runs at the death. Batting high up the order, Verma treated every over like a power-play, ensuring the scoring rate never dipped. With zero wickets and no bowling duties, it is clear where his value lies: explosive batting that can flip games in a matter of deliveries.

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.
