Deepak Jagbir Hooda has quietly become one of the IPL’s most reliable middle-order batsmen, compiling 1,496 runs across 101 innings at a healthy strike-rate of 127. Over eleven seasons the right-hander has struck 98 fours and 62 sixes while bringing up eight half-centuries, the highest being an unbeaten 64. After starting his journey with Rajasthan Royals in 2015, Hooda has turned out for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and, in the 2025 season, the Chennai Super Kings. Although he rolls his arm over occasionally and owns ten wickets from 34 bowling innings, his primary value lies in accelerating run chases and rebuilding collapses. His 1172-ball sample size confirms a busy scorer who keeps the scoreboard ticking without compromising boundary options, making him a handy finisher and a consistent top-six option in fantasy and real-world teams alike.

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.
