The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a stage for some mind-blowing records over the years. From highest individual scores to fastest fifties, cricketers have continuously pushed the limits. With IPL 2025 around the corner, let’s take a look at 10 unbelievable records that could be broken this season.
1. Highest Individual Score in an Innings:
Current Record: Chris Gayle – 175* (66 balls) in 2013
Chris Gayle’s monstrous 175* for RCB against Pune Warriors India has stood tall for over a decade. But with the arrival of hard-hitting batters like Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and young power-hitters, could we see a double century in T20s?
2. Fastest Century in IPL History:
Current Record: Chris Gayle – 30 balls (2013)
With the aggressive playing style of modern-day cricketers, there’s always a chance of a batter breaking Gayle’s 30-ball century. Players like Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are capable of achieving this feat.
3. Fastest Fifty in IPL History:
Current Record: KL Rahul & Pat Cummins – 14 balls
Pat Cummins shocked everyone in 2023 when he equaled KL Rahul’s record for the fastest fifty in IPL history. Given the fearless batting in T20 cricket, someone might just smash a 13-ball or even a 12-ball fifty in IPL 2025.
4. Highest Team Total in IPL:
Current Record: 263/5 – RCB vs Pune Warriors (2013)
With IPL teams boasting explosive batting lineups, a 270+ or even 280+ total is possible in 2025. Teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, and Rajasthan Royals have the firepower to break this record.
5. Most Sixes in an IPL Innings:
Current Record: Chris Gayle – 17 sixes (2013)
With power-hitters like Heinrich Klaasen, Nicholas Pooran, and Rinku Singh in top form, hitting 18 or more sixes in an innings isn’t out of reach. The shorter boundaries in some IPL stadiums could help this record tumble.
6. Most Runs in a Single IPL Season:
Current Record: Virat Kohli – 973 runs (2016)
Virat Kohli’s 973-run season in 2016 remains untouched. But with the impact player rule and more aggressive batting, someone like Shubman Gill or Ruturaj Gaikwad could cross the 1000-run mark in a single season.
7. Most Wickets in a Single IPL Season:
Current Record: Dwayne Bravo & Harshal Patel – 32 wickets
With fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and spinners like Rashid Khan in top form, someone could finally surpass 32 wickets in an IPL season, possibly reaching 35+ wickets in 2025.
8. Fastest Run Chase in IPL History:
Current Record: KKR chased 40 runs in 5.2 overs (2008)
With T20 cricket becoming more aggressive, a team could potentially chase down a 100+ target in just 5-6 overs. With openers like Prithvi Shaw and Jos Buttler, we might see a record-breaking chase.
9. Most Sixes in a Single IPL Season:
Current Record: Chris Gayle – 59 sixes (2012)
With the power-hitting revolution in T20 cricket, a batter could go past 60 sixes in IPL 2025. The likes of Shivam Dube, Andre Russell, and Liam Livingstone are strong contenders to smash this record.
10. Most Consecutive Wins by a Team:
Current Record: KKR – 10 wins (2014)
If a team like Mumbai Indians or Chennai Super Kings gets into a dominant rhythm, they could set a new record by winning 11 or more consecutive matches in IPL 2025.
