BR Sharath IPL 2024: The Gujarat Titans’ untested wicket-keeper batsman made his lone appearance in the league stage against Sunrisers Hyderabad, walking in at No. 7 under lights at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Facing a late-innings squeeze, Sharath managed only 2 runs off 5 balls—a 40 strike-rate that tells the story of a brief, pressure-cooked cameo. Though he failed to find the boundary ropes, the Karnataka stumper’s composure behind the stumps kept the spotlight on his glove work. With no wickets to show and all bowling metrics marked NA, Sharath’s IPL debut remains a 2-run snapshot in an otherwise all-bat narrative.

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.
