Matheesha Pathirana has become Chennai Super Kings’ go-to death-over assassin in just four IPL seasons, all spent under the yellow banner from 2022 to 2025. The sling-arm quick has claimed 47 wickets from 32 bowling innings, attacking stumps at a rapid strike rate of 14.94 balls per wicket. His 702 deliveries have cost only 1,016 runs, translating to an economy of 8.68 while operating in the high-risk overs. Pathirana’s ability to nail yorkers shows up in his five three-wicket hauls, and his best figures of 4 for in a single spell underline why opposition batters dread the 19th over at Chepauk. Zero runs, zero batting records—that is the story of a bowler who does his talking with the ball, not the bat.

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.
