#4 David Warner (160 sixes, 114 matches)

The pocket-sized dynamo will not feature in the eleventh edition of the league after the recent ball-tampering saga. The southpaw was remarkably consistent for the Sunrisers Hyderabad and was one of the main reasons why SRH was successful in the past few seasons.
The opening batsman had provided stability to the SRH squad leading them by example and providing them with good starts more often than not. Much of SRH's batting revolved around Warner's innings.
With no Warner in the team, openers like Shikhar Dhawan and Alex Hales would have to bat with extra responsibility and step up to the occasion.
Warner has over 4000 IPL runs in 114 innings and a terrific strike rate of 142.13. With 160 sixes in 114 games, the Aussie batsman is perhaps one of the most explosive batsmen to miss out on IPL this year.
