No batter matched David Warner’s 562, the most runs in IPL 2015, and not one of those runs came in a hundred. He played 14 innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Just behind him, Ajinkya Rahane and Lendl Simmons tied on 540.
All 59 games of the season are in the data, the first played on 8 Apr 2015 and the final on 24 May 2015. Mumbai Indians won the title, beating Chennai Super Kings by 41 runs in the final at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Teams appear under current names, so Punjab Kings means the side then called Kings XI Punjab.
