Parthiv Patel’s 12-season IPL journey reads like a pocket-sized power saga: 2,848 runs from 136 innings, 365 fours and 49 sixes flying off 2,358 balls at a healthy strike rate of 120. Never a century-maker but always a momentum-builder, the left-handed wicket-keeper-batsman racked up 13 half-centuries, topping out at a blazing 81. Starting with Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural 2008 edition and closing with Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019, he turned the opener’s slot into an art form, whether donning the yellow of CSK, the orange of Sunrisers, the blue of Mumbai Indians or the red of RCB. Quick between the wickets and even quicker with his cuts and pulls, Patel’s 0 wickets simply underline a career devoted to run-making, not run-stopping.

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.
