(SRH vs GL scorecard)Along the way, Warner joined an elite list of players as he became just the fourth batsman in Twenty20 history to go past 7000 runs in this format. Warner joined the likes of West Indies’ Chris Gayle, New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum and Australia’s Brad Hodge to have gone past this landmark. Gayle, on the other hand, is eyeing a milestone as he aims to become the first player to score 10,000 runs. In the 2016 edition, he was the second-highest run-getter with 848 runs as he led SRH to their maiden IPL title. His highest Twenty20 score is 135*, which was achieved in the Champions League Twenty20 clash for New South Wales against Chennai Super Kings in October 2011.
