#2 David Warner

After an epic string of performances in the Champions League T20, David Warner found himself playing for Delhi Capitals in 2009. Known for his explosive batting, Warner struggled to score many runs for his franchise. Although he scored 2 centuries during his tenure at Delhi, his performances were below par most of the time.

After being released by DC in 2013, he was picked up by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014. It was here where the southpaw rose to prominence. He spearheaded their batting attack and has played a huge role in his team’s success.

He has consistently scored over 500 runs per season since 2014. His best season with SRH came in 2016 when he scored 848 runs from 16 matches. He followed that up with another impressive performance the next year scoring 641 runs winning the orange cap in the process.

Currently, Warner is the 8th highest run scorer in the IPL with 4014 runs from 114 matches.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
