Jofra Archer IPL Story: 59 wickets in 52 bowling innings, 20.64 strike rate, 7.89 economy – Rajasthan Royals’ turbo-charged pacer has been the league’s most feared speed merchant since debuting in 2018. Across five seasons Archer has sent down 1 218 balls, conceding only 1 602 runs while striking at better than a wicket every three overs. Seven three-wicket bursts highlight his ability to break partnerships at will, and with a top haul of 3 for he rarely leaves the opposition unscathed. While Archer’s primary role is with ball in hand, his late-order fireworks add hidden value: 262 runs from 178 balls, a strike-rate of 147, and 18 towering sixes—more maximums than fours—make him a genuine two-phase threat. His unbeaten 30 stands as the highest among cameos that have swung momentum in RR’s favour. After a brief 2023 stint with Mumbai Indians, Archer returned to Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, bringing back the pace and precision that once terrorised batsmen at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Expect more thunderbolts and quick runs as Archer continues to redefine the modern fast bowler’s role in the world’s biggest T20 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.
