Jesse Ryder lit up the IPL between 2009 and 2012, amassing 604 runs in 29 innings at a blistering strike-rate of 131. The powerful left-hander smashed 69 fours and 19 sixes for Pune Warriors and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, crossing fifty four times and peaking with an 86-run master-class. While primarily a marauding opener, Ryder also chipped in with eight wickets in 16 bowling innings, showing his value as a genuine all-rounder during his three-season stint in the league.

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.
