K H Pandya has turned into one of the most bankable two-way match-winners in IPL history, and the 2025 season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru is only extending that reputation. Across 114 innings with the bat he has piled on 1,756 runs at a strike-rate of 132, peppering boundaries with 153 fours and 65 towering sixes; his fearless 86 against Sunrisers remains the highest score of his career. While he has not yet reached three figures, those two half-centuries have often arrived when RCB needed a late surge. With ball in hand Pandya is equally influential. In 132 bowling innings he has snapped 93 wickets, including nine three-wicket bursts and a best of 4/21, all while keeping the economy under 7.5. Whether opening the attack or nailing yorkers at the death, his 25.78 strike-rate makes him a captain’s go-to in crunch overs. Having started with Mumbai Indians in 2016 and now donning the RCB red after three productive seasons at Lucknow Super Giants, Pandya’s decade-long journey shows a player who keeps adding new gears to his game—fearless hitter, reliable wicket-taker, and ultimate team-first asset.

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.
