Shubman Gill has turned eight IPL campaigns into a personal highlight reel, stacking up 3,866 runs off 2,787 balls at a strike-rate of 138. The Gujarat Titans opener has already smashed 372 fours and 119 sixes, numbers that translate to more than 40 boundaries every 100 balls he faces. Gill has crossed fifty 26 times and converted four of those into three-figure scores, peaking at a 129-run whirlwind that underlined his appetite for big knocks. Across 114 innings he has anchored, accelerated and dominated, making the Narendra Modi Stadium his second home since 2022 after four formative years with Kolkata Knight Riders. With no wickets to his name, Gill’s story is purely one of willow-wielding brilliance—an ever-present at the top of the order who keeps the scoreboard humming and the opposition captain scrambling for answers.

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.
