Ryan Rickelton IPL 2025: The 26-year-old South African opener announced his arrival in his debut season for Mumbai Indians with a blazing 388 runs from just 14 innings. Operating at a scorching strike rate of 150, Rickelton peppered boundaries—47 fours and 17 sixes—to keep scoreboards ticking and bowlers second-guessing. Three rapid half-centuries underline his ability to convert starts, with a career-best 62 showing the ceiling of his power-packed game. Every 17 balls he faced cleared the rope, and every 5.5 balls found the fence, making him one of the most boundary-dense batters of the season. While Rickelton did not roll his arm over, his bat did all the talking, propelling MI’s top order and setting the stage for what could be a breakout legacy in the IPL.

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.
