PVSN Raju IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians' new-ball weapon lights up debut season with 1-wicket burst and 100% strike-rate cameo Making his IPL bow in the 2025 season with Mumbai Indians, PVSN Raju announced himself as an exciting pace-bowling all-rounder who can swing a game in a flash. Sent in to bowl in both of MI’s opening fixtures, the left-armer sent down 24 fiery balls, claiming a vital scalp in each appearance and showing fearless intent despite conceding 53 runs. His economy of 13.25 reflects the high-risk, high-reward role he embraced while attacking the stumps, and a sharp strike-rate of 24 balls per wicket underlines his knack for breaking partnerships. With the bat, Raju walked out in the only innings he played and nonchalantly tucked his first legal delivery for a single, finishing unbeaten on 1 off 1 at a perfect 100 strike-rate. While the sample size is small, the immediate impact with both disciplines has already set social media buzzing: one wicket, one run, one statement that MI have uncovered a genuine 360-degree match-winner for the seasons ahead.

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.
