IPL 2025: Musheer Khan, the 18-year-old all-rounder who turned one over into instant impact for Punjab Kings. Batting once, he faced only three balls and is yet to open his boundary count, but his story unfolds with the ball. In a single four-over burst he removed a key batter, returning figures of 1 for 27 and showing a wicket-taking strike rate of 12.00. That lone scalp underlines why Punjab paid big at the auction: a teenager who can break partnerships at 13.5 runs per over while learning on the job. Expect the left-arm spinner to double his wicket tally soon and push for more match-winning spells at the death.

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.
