Kwena Maphaka IPL profile: South Africa’s teenage left-arm quick has already turned heads in two short seasons, splitting his campaigns between Mumbai Indians in 2024 and Rajasthan Royals in 2025. With only four bowling innings on record, the 19-year-old has struck twice, showing a wicket every 33 balls and an eye-catching top haul of 1-31. While his economy of 13 runs per over is a work in progress, the raw wicket-taking knack is unmistakable. Maphaka has been sparingly used, sending down 66 balls and conceding 143 runs, yet the promise lies in those two scalps and the electric energy he brings to the powerplay. In the solitary time he was asked to bat, he wasted no time—smashing 2 fours in 2 balls to race to 8* at a jaw-dropping strike-rate of 400. No fifties, no hundreds, but the statement was clear: when the helmet goes on, the intent follows. Across two seasons, Maphaka’s numbers remain modest, yet every digit hints at a fast-tracked future—two IPL franchises in two years, two wickets, two boundaries, and a strike-rate story waiting to explode.

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.
