David Warner IPL Runs – Year by Year

David Warner’s IPL journey completed a cycle when Delhi Capitals (DC) picked him in the 2022 mega auction. The Australian striking opening batter kick-started his IPL career with the Delhi side way back in 2009. At the age of 35, he found his way back to the side where he laid his foundations on.

When Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bought Warner in 2014, very few people guessed that the Australian left-hander would lead the team to its maiden title and enjoy three Orange Cap-winning seasons – the most in the tournament.

Although Warner’s SRH stint came to a dramatic and drastic end, he has been the best for anyone who has played for the Orange Army. Three out of Warner’s five best performances came while playing for SRH.

After his return to the former side, the Tasmanian had two brilliant outings in 2022 and 2023. Most importantly, his unbeaten 92 against SRH is considered one of the best revenge stories in the IPL.

This article will analyse his year-by-year batting stats, such as runs, average, strike rate, high scores, the fifties, and hundreds in the IPL seasons.
