N Thushara IPL profile: Sri Lankan speedster who has quietly built a 9-wicket bank in only 8 bowling innings across two seasons with Mumbai Indians and now Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Operating at a brisk strike rate of 20.00 balls per wicket, Thushara has twice rocked opponents with three-wicket bursts, proving his knack for cluster dismissals. In 180 balls he has leaked 283 runs, translating into an economy of 9.43, numbers that underline both his wicket-taking intent and the high-risk lengths he attacks with. His best figures of 3 for have already occurred twice, a rare feat for a bowler yet to complete ten IPL games. The 2025 season sees him swap the blue of Mumbai for the red of RCB, where fans will hope his late-overs surge can tilt matches in their favour.

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.
