Moeen Ali IPL story: 1,167 runs at a strike-rate of 139, 95 fours, 67 sixes – the left-handed all-rounder has been one of the tournament’s most reliable middle-order finishers since 2018. Across eight seasons with three franchises—RCB, CSK and now KKR—he has batted 59 times, crossed fifty on six occasions and come agonisingly close to a maiden hundred with a blistering 93. Every fifth ball he faces disappears for a boundary, and with the short-boundaries of Chepauk and Eden in mind, his power-hitting has repeatedly turned middling totals into match-winning scores. With the ball he is equally influential. Operating mainly in the middle overs, Moeen has snapped up 41 wickets in 57 bowling innings, never letting the run-rate drift above 7.23. His three three-wicket bursts underline his knack for breaking partnerships, while a best of 4 for 20 shows he can run through a line-up when the surface offers turn. A strike-rate of 20.8 balls per wicket makes him a captain’s go-to option when games pivot on a single over. Now turning out for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025, the 36-year-old brings a proven record of clutch performances: six fifties, 67 sixes, 41 wickets and an economy that keeps rival batters honest. Whether accelerating in the death overs or sliding one through the gate, Moeen Ali remains the definitive modern-day utility match-winner.

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.
