He has mostly scored then fir Sunrisers Hyderabad where at the top of the order ,he was brutal and ensured that SRH always got out to a brisk start and he knew how to covert a start. The fans of Hyderabad loved him as one of their own.

Most Runs by an Overseas batter in IPL :
David Warner has scored more runs then any other overseas player in the history of the IPL. He has amassed a mammoth 5447 runs in just 148 innings with an average of over 42 and a strike rate of 140+ which is outstanding. The other Indian batters who have got more runs than him have done so in almost 40 innings more than him and the run difference between him and the others is not much and shows how good he has been for a long period of time.
Most IPL runs by an individual batter since 2014 :
Since the IPL season in 2014 and for the past 8 seasons, no other batter has gotten more runs in IPL than David Warner and this is taking his poor 2021 IPL season into consideration which is amazing. He has scored 3271 runs in just 71 innings with a whopping average of over 55 and a strike rate of almost 147. Virat Kohli is behind him and he has played 13 innings more than him , this is proof of David Warner’s greatness. And he is nowhere near finished as he will play for a new team from next year and get more runs for that team.
Fastest 100 and 50 for Sunrisers Hyderabad :
He also holds the record for making the fastest 100 and 50 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. There might be no batting record of Sunrisers Hyderabad that he does not hold in his name. The fastest hundred came against KKR in just 43 balls in 2017 and he won Hyderabad that match. And his fastest 50 came against the mighty Chennai Super Kings team in 2015 where he smashed the half century in just 20 deliveries. He was brutal yet consistent, a rare skill to have and that very few possess and that is what makes David Warner special and an IPL favorite.
