Mayank Markande IPL profile: 37 wickets in 37 innings across six seasons, a story of persistence and punch From the 2018 debut in Mumbai Indians blue to the 2024 orange of Sunrisers Hyderabad, leg-spinner Mayank Markande has kept his name in IPL team sheets for six straight seasons. The numbers speak of a bowler who bursts rather than bleeds: 19.46 balls stand between him and each of his 37 victims, the quickest strike-rate among Indian wrist-spinners who have bowled 100-plus balls since 2018. Twice he has walked away with four-wicket bursts and on three occasions has rattled three scalps in an innings, showing he can turn a match on its head inside two overs. Operating at the difficult mid-innings choke zone, Markande has conceded only 8.91 runs an over while firing in 720 balls of leg-breaks and wrong ’uns. That economy is tighter than most wrist-spinners who bowl after the Powerplay, proving that captains trust him even on flat decks. His best figures—4/15—came at the same ground where he made his IPL debut, underlining a circle-of-life moment that fans still replay on social feeds. With the bat, Markande is the quintessential No. 10 who can swing hard when needed: 48 runs at a strike-rate of 114, including five fours and a six, show he is no rabbit. Yet it is with the ball that he earns his keep, and franchises have kept him in circulation—Mumbai Indians in 2018-19 and 2022, Rajasthan Royals in 2021, and Sunrisers Hyderabad from 2023 onward—because wrist-spin wins matches in T20 cricket, and Markande wins them quickly.

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.
