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.

Abhishek Nayar IPL story: 672 runs, 55 fours, 20 sixes – the all-rounder who kept scoreboards ticking for seven seasons. From Mumbai Indians’ 2008 title-run to Rajasthan Royals’ 2014 campaign, Nayar walked in at 50 different innings, faced 577 balls and still kept a brisk strike-rate of 116. While a half-century eluded him, the left-hander’s highest of 45 came packed with fearless boundaries; every 10.5 balls he cleared the ropes or found the fence, turning middle-overs into momentum shifters. With the ball he was the silent partner: 19 spells, 9 wickets, one three-for. Bowling 229 balls at an economy of 8.44, he broke partnerships when teams were pushing 200. From Wankhede to Sharjah, Nayar’s utility turned him into a trusted floater—capable of accelerating at 145-plus strike-rate on good days and chipping in with a tight 10-run over when needed. Seven franchises in seven seasons, but the numbers stay: 672 batting runs, 322 bowling runs, and the rare badge of being both the pinch-hitter and the surprise seamer.
