IPL Records That May Break in 2025
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been the most
thrilling and record-breaking T20 league in the world since its inception in 2008. Every year, new records are set while old ones are shattered. With IPL 2025 around the corner, cricket fans are eagerly waiting to witness yet another exciting season. Several milestones are within reach, and some long-standing records may finally be broken. Let’s take a look at the IPL records that might be rewritten in 2025.1. Most Runs in IPL History – Virat Kohli vs. Rohit Sharma
Currently, Virat Kohli holds the record for most runs in IPL history. However, Rohit Sharma is not far behind. If Rohit has a stellar season in 2025, he might surpass Kohli’s record. Given that both players are still active and in good form, this will be an interesting battle to watch.
Current Leaderboard:
- Virat Kohli – 7,000+ runs (as of 2024)
- Rohit Sharma – 6,500+ runs (as of 2024)
If Rohit can manage 600-700 runs in the season, he could overtake Kohli depending on the latter’s performance.
2. Fastest Century in IPL
The record for the fastest IPL century is held by Chris Gayle, who scored a 30-ball hundred in 2013 for RCB. However, with power-hitters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Glenn Maxwell, and Heinrich Klaasen in the mix, we might see someone break this record in 2025. The introduction of impact players has increased the aggressive nature of the game, making it more likely that a batter might surpass this milestone.
3. Most Sixes in IPL History – Chris Gayle’s Record Under Threat?
Chris Gayle’s record of most sixes (357) in IPL history has remained unbroken for a long time. However, Rohit Sharma, Jos Buttler, and Andre Russell are inching closer. If any of them have a big-hitting season in 2025, Gayle’s record might finally be surpassed.
Current Six-Hitters (as of 2024):
- Chris Gayle – 357 sixes
- Rohit Sharma – 290+ sixes
- Jos Buttler – 250+ sixes
- Andre Russell – 240+ sixes
Russell, if fit for the entire season, has the power to clear the ropes consistently and might be the strongest contender to break this record.
4. Most Wickets in IPL – Can Yuzvendra Chahal Go Past Dwayne Bravo?
Dwayne Bravo holds the record for the most wickets in IPL history with 183 wickets. However, Yuzvendra Chahal is not far behind and could surpass him in IPL 2025. Spinners are playing an increasingly crucial role in T20 cricket, and if Chahal continues his wicket-taking form, he could become the highest wicket-taker in IPL history.
Current Wicket-Takers (as of 2024):
- Dwayne Bravo – 183 wickets
- Yuzvendra Chahal – 170+ wickets
- Lasith Malinga – 170 wickets (retired)
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar – 160+ wickets
5. Highest Team Total in IPL – Can We See 300+ Runs in an Innings?
The current highest team total in IPL history is 263/5 by RCB in 2013. With the evolution of batting approaches and the impact player rule, teams are more aggressive than ever. If conditions favor batters, we might witness a score surpassing 263, possibly even breaching the 300-run mark.
Teams Capable of Breaking the Record:
- Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – With their deep batting lineup and aggressive openers, they could challenge this record.
- Mumbai Indians (MI) – MI's power-packed middle order can be devastating on a good batting pitch.
- Rajasthan Royals (RR) – With Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson, they have the firepower to chase or set a massive total.
6. Fastest 50 in IPL – Can Someone Break KL Rahul’s 14-Ball Record?
KL Rahul holds the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history, having achieved the feat in just 14 balls. However, with the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan, and Rinku Singh playing fearless cricket, this record might be at risk.
7. Most Hundreds in IPL – Will Virat Kohli Surpass Chris Gayle?
Chris Gayle holds the record for most centuries (6) in IPL. Virat Kohli, David Warner, and Jos Buttler are close behind and might surpass this tally in IPL 2025.
Current Leaders:
- Chris Gayle – 6 centuries
- Virat Kohli – 5 centuries
- Jos Buttler – 5 centuries
- David Warner – 4 centuries
Given Kohli’s hunger for runs and form in recent IPLs, he might finally take the crown.
8. Most Consecutive Wins in a Single Season
The record for most consecutive wins in a single season is held by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with 10 consecutive victories in 2014. With a dominant performance, any team could surpass this record in 2025.
9. Most Runs in a Single Season – Can Someone Beat Kohli’s 973?
Virat Kohli’s 973 runs in IPL 2016 is still the highest for a single season. Players like Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Ruturaj Gaikwad have the potential to challenge this record if they get a dream run in 2025.
10. Youngest Captain to Win IPL
Rohit Sharma holds the record for being the youngest captain to win the IPL at 26 years. If a younger captain like Shubman Gill or Rishabh Pant leads their team to victory, this record could be rewritten.
Conclusion
The IPL never fails to surprise, and IPL 2025 will be no different. With the game evolving and players pushing their limits, we are set for a season filled with record-breaking moments. Whether it’s Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or a young sensation, fans can expect history to be rewritten once again.
