Saurav Chauhan IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s left-handed batting option made his league debut in the 2024 season and immediately showed intent. Across three innings Chauhan hammered 18 runs from just 15 balls, striking at a brisk 120 and keeping the scoreboard moving with one crisp four and a towering six. His highest score of 9 came in a pressure situation against Sunrisers Hyderabad, illustrating his willingness to take on the bowling from ball one. While the sample is small, the strike-rate and boundary-hitting frequency underline the fearless approach RCB sought when they drafted the 24-year-old into the squad. A specialist batsman with no bowling duties so far, Chauhan’s raw power and rapid scoring hint at a potential match-winner in the making for future IPL campaigns.

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.
