IPL 2017: Top Run-Scorers, T20 Averages, Bowling Figures and More

David Warner hit a sensational knock of 126 on Sunday to become the 2017 Indian Premier League's leading run-scorer.

Warner's century helped the Sunrisers Hyderabad set a target of 209 for three, which the Kolkata Knight Riders were unable to catch. They could only muster 161 for seven, granting Hyderabad a 48-run victory.

Andrew Tye's 17 for five remain the best bowling figures in the IPL so far this year, but Sandeep Sharma shot to fourth on the list with a 20 for four on Sunday.

Sharma's sensational performance helped Kings XI Punjab limit the Delhi Daredevils to just 67 runs, a tally they easily surpassed in under eight overs to hand them a 10-wicket victory.

Here are the top run-scorers and averages in the IPL this year:

Warner produced an outstanding effort on Sunday as the Sunrisers beat the league leaders to move within one point of them.

The Australian hit a half-century off just 20 balls as Hyderabad piled on the runs quickly.

Kolkata had a golden opportunity to kill off his momentum when he hit a high ball in the 10th over, but it was dropped over the boundary by Chris Woakes for a six.

As cricket commentator Ayaz Memon noted, the Knight Riders would likely regret handing him a lifeline:

So it proved—by 43 balls faced he had a ton, and he continued for 26 more runs after that.

As demonstrated by ESPNcricinfo's Freddie Wilde, Warner fared well against Kolkata's pacers and even better against their spinners:

The knock took him to 459 runs overall, 64 runs ahead of nearest rival Gautam Gambhir after he managed just 11.

His team-mate Robin Uthappa was excellent, though, and sits just three runs behind having scored 53 on Sunday, his fifth half-century of the season.

Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle was impressed:

Meanwhile, here are the top bowling figures and wicket-takers:

Sharma played a key role in an exceptional performance with ball in hand by Punjab on Sunday, who bowled Delhi all out for 67.

Sam Billings fell in the first over for a duck, while Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer managed just five and six each before they too were out, the latter caught and bowled by Sharma.

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra was amazed:

He was reintroduced later in the innings, where Kagiso Rabada would send a neat delivery from Sharma straight to Shaun Marsh.

Tye will unfortunately miss the rest of IPL 10 after dislocating his shoulder on Saturday against Mumbai Indians, according to ESPNcricinfo.
