Nitish Rana IPL profile: 2853 runs at 136 strike-rate, 20 fifties, 261 fours, 141 sixes, highest 87, 10 seasons, now with Rajasthan Royals Left-handed dynamo Nitish Rana has quietly built one of the IPL’s most consistent batting résumés, stacking 2,853 runs from just 2,086 balls faced—a boundary every eight balls thanks to 261 fours and 141 sixes. Across 112 innings he has reached fifty on 20 occasions, his 87 against Delhi at Sharjah standing as his personal best. After eight productive years with Kolkata Knight Riders, Rana enters the 2025 season wearing Rajasthan Royals colours, bringing a proven power game and a handy off-spin option that has already delivered 10 wickets in 26 cameo bowling innings.

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.
