#2 David Warner

Against CSK, he scored a 45-ball 57 with three fours and two sixes and once again laid the foundation for a big KKR score along with Jonny Bairstow. He has 574 runs so far at an average and strike rate of 71.75 and 146.05 respectively. With 7 half-centuries and a century to his name, he has more than a hundred runs above the next person in the highest run-getters list. SRH have undoubtedly the best opening batsman in this year’s IPL and they would want him to fire once again in the all-important match against RR.
