IPL Records 2025
Cricket lovers, brace yourselves! The 2025 IPL season is just around the corner, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that records are meant to be shattered. Some of the greatest batting feats in IPL history could be rewritten this year—so grab your popcorn, because things are about to get spicy!
1. Most Runs in a Single Season – Can Someone Overtake Kohli’s 973?
Virat Kohli’s legendary 2016 season with 973 runs is like a mountain no one has been able to scale. But could 2025 be the year?
- With players like Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad evolving into run machines, it’s not impossible.
- If a batter finds his rhythm early and gets a few flat pitches, we could be in for a 1000-run season. Imagine that!
By the way, with the impact player rule in place, top-order batters now get more chances to go berserk. So, Kohli’s record? It’s on thin ice!
2. Fastest Century – Will Someone Beat Gayle’s 30-Ball Madness?
Chris Gayle’s 30-ball century in 2013 was sheer carnage. But let’s be honest—T20 batting has evolved, and power-hitters are taking insanity to another level.
- SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) can dismantle bowling attacks like a video game character on cheat mode.
- Glenn Maxwell and Harry Brook? They don’t just hit sixes; they obliterate balls.
- With smaller boundaries and modern bats, we might just see a 25-ball century. Unreal, right?
3. Most Sixes in a Season – Will Someone Dethrone Gayle?
Gayle again? Yep, the Universe Boss holds the record with 59 sixes in 2012. But, let’s be real—today’s batters aren’t here to push singles; they live for the big hits.
- Nicholas Pooran, Liam Livingstone, and Shivam Dube are clearing stadiums for fun.
- With power-hitting becoming an art form, we could witness the first-ever 60+ sixes season.
- Also, with batting depth improving, teams are playing fearless cricket—expect fireworks!
Honestly, if someone like Andre Russell or Tim David gets going, this record could be a goner.
4. Highest Individual Score – Will 175 Finally Fall?*
Chris Gayle (again!) smashed an outrageous 175* in 2013. Over a decade later, no one has even come close. But let’s think—what if someone goes nuclear?
- Jos Buttler and David Warner have that beast mode switch.
- If a batter faces 70+ balls in peak form, a 200* isn’t impossible.
- Flat decks, dew, and impact player rule—it’s all set up for history.
Imagine a double century in T20s. Goosebumps, right?
5. Most Fifties in a Season – Will Consistency Be Redefined?
In 2016, Kohli not only piled up runs but also notched 7 fifties. But in the era of Bazball cricket, consistency and aggression can coexist.
- Players like KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis, and David Warner are known for their hunger for runs.
- With IPL becoming longer (more matches = more chances), we might see someone reach 8 or 9 fifties in a season.
- Add the extra impact player helping top-order batters, and voila—record broken!
