Gerald Coetzee has stormed through two IPL campaigns (2024 with Mumbai Indians, 2025 with Gujarat Titans) as a pace-bowling match-winner. In 14 bowling innings he has snapped 15 wickets at a strike-rate of 18.2 balls per scalp, twice rattling the opposition with three-wicket bursts. His quickest burst came at a four-wicket haul, sending a clear message to top-orders that he hunts in clusters. Operating at 10.37 runs per over, Coetzee backs aggression with accuracy, hurling 273 balls and conceding 472 runs while constantly asking questions with pace and bounce. With the willow he is a handy lower-order striker: 31 runs off 33 balls, laced with 2 fours and 2 sixes, shows he can clear the ropes when needed. His highest score of 12* has already proved vital in tight chases, and a strike-rate of 93 keeps scoreboard pressure on the fielding side. In 2025, wearing the Gujarat Titans colours, Coetzee looks primed to better his numbers and add more three-wicket shows to his growing IPL highlight reel.

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.
