5 highest run scorers in IPL history
IPL is the most prominent T20 league in the world, attracting quality players from all around the globe. Since the game has tilted towards the batsmen, it is fitting to look at the five batsmen who have made a significant mark in the league.
With the 2018 IPL mega-auction just around the corner, it is fitting to look at these power players who might be up for the auction in January. Although these might not be the most flamboyant of players, they have performed consistently and have won plenty of games for their respective teams.
Here is a look at the top 5 run scorers in the IPL:
#5 David Warner
David Warner is obviously on this list. He has batted at the top of the order for a long time for the Delhi Daredevils and, now, for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. With a whopping strike-rate of 142.13, he has scored 4014 runs since his arrival in the IPL.
He won the Orange Cap in IPL 2017 and will be looking to extend his wonderful run of form into the 2018 season as well. With three centuries and a top score of 126, he truly has adapted well to Indian pitches. He is also the captain of the SRH side and tends to lead by example with the bat and on the field with his electric fielding.
He famously led SRH to victory against RCB in the IPL 2016 final to clinch the cup for the first time. His average of 40.54 demonstrates his consistency and attacking mindset. He truly has been a revelation in this format of the game.
