IPL 2025 Records & Milestones
Batting, bowling, fielding & team records
Virat Kohli — 7,000 IPL Runs
Virat Kohli became the first player in IPL history to score 7,000 runs, reaching the milestone during RCB's match against Delhi Capitals. The former India captain achieved the feat in his 252nd IPL innings, underscoring his remarkable consistency over 17 seasons. Kohli's journey to 7,000 runs has been decorated with 8 centuries and 50 half-centuries, making him the undisputed run-king of the tournament.
MS Dhoni — 5,000 IPL Runs
MS Dhoni crossed 5,000 IPL runs in his trademark fashion — finishing the game with a boundary. The CSK legend reached the milestone in 264 matches, maintaining an impressive strike rate of 135.92 throughout his career. Known for his calm finishes, Dhoni has been the backbone of Chennai's middle order since the tournament's inception.
Jasprit Bumrah — 150 IPL Wickets
Jasprit Bumrah claimed his 150th IPL wicket with a trademark yorker in MI's clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Indian pace spearhead has been the most economical fast bowler in IPL history, maintaining an economy rate under 7.40 across 130+ matches. His 150 wickets have come at an average of just 23.41, a testament to his unparalleled skill at the death.
Sunil Narine — 500 IPL Wickets (All T20s)
Sunil Narine's 500th T20 wicket came in his unique style — a carrom ball that left the batter bamboozled. While this milestone spans all T20 cricket, Narine's IPL contribution has been enormous. The West Indian mystery spinner has been KKR's most reliable wicket-taker for over a decade, combining his bowling prowess with increasingly explosive batting in recent seasons.
KKR — Highest Powerplay Score in IPL History
Kolkata Knight Riders rewrote the record books with a blistering 105/1 in the powerplay against Punjab Kings. Openers Sunil Narine (56 off 18) and Phil Salt (42 off 16) launched an extraordinary assault, clearing the boundary 14 times in the first six overs. The previous record of 91 had stood since 2013.
Sanju Samson — 100 IPL Catches (as Wicketkeeper)
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson became the third wicketkeeper in IPL history to take 100 catches, reaching the milestone with a sharp take down the leg side. Samson's glovework has been a cornerstone of RR's fielding setup, and this achievement places him alongside Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik in an elite club.
