H V Patel has quietly become one of the IPL’s most lethal pace merchants, amassing 151 wickets in 116 innings across 13 seasons. Operating at a strike-rate of 16.05 balls per scalp and an economy of 8.86, he has delivered 16 three-wicket bursts and one five-for, peaking with a best of 5-wicket haul. The right-arm quick began his journey with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2012, spending eight campaigns there before stints with Delhi Capitals (2018-2020) and Punjab Kings (2024). Ahead of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured his services, banking on his proven match-winning ability. While primarily a bowler, Patel has chipped in with 270 runs from 229 balls, clearing the ropes 15 times and finding the fence 16 times at a brisk strike-rate of 117. His highest score of 36 highlights his capacity to swing momentum with the bat when required, though his true value remains in dismantling batting orders.

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.
