David Warner, Australia's batting powerhouse, holds the record of scoring the most runs by an overseas batsman in IPL history.

He has scored a massive total of 5,876 runs in 161 matches with four centuries and 55 half-centuries. David Warner and AB de Villiers are the only two overseas players who have scored more than 5000 runs in the IPL.

David Warner represented Delhi Daredevils from 2009 to 2013. He then played for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) from 2014 to 2021, before joining the Delhi Capitals in 2022.

Warner has proven to be a run-machine as his consistency is simply outstanding. He has scored more than 400 runs in a single season on eight different occasions.

His best season, till date, was in 2016 when he scored a massive tally of 848 runs with nine half-centuries. He formed a very successful opening partnership with Jonny Bairstow during his tenure with SRH.

His innings of 126 in 59 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2017 and his knock of an unbeaten 100 runs in 55 balls against the RCB in 2019 are considered among his best innings.

He is the only player to have won the Orange Cap thrice, in 2015, 2017, and 2019. With 55 half-centuries, David Warner holds the record for scoring the highest number of half-centuries by any batsman.
