Batting Records That Still Rule the Roost
Most Runs in a Single Season – Virat Kohli (973 runs, 2016)
There’s no discussion on IPL milestones without mentioning Virat Kohli, the modern-day maestro who has graced all 18 seasons of the IPL. His superhuman run in IPL 2016—973 runs in just 16 innings, including 4 centuries — remains unmatched. Despite the emergence of run machines like Jos Buttler (863 runs in 2022) and Shubman Gill (890 runs in 2023), Kohli’s record remains intact as we head deeper into IPL 2025. With bowlers now more strategic and match-ups more precise, crossing 973 runs in a season is starting to look like a T20 Everest.
Most Runs in an Innings – Chris Gayle (175, 2013)*
The ‘Universe Boss,’ Chris Gayle, rewrote the T20 rulebook when he hammered 175 off 66 balls* for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013. His innings featured an astonishing 17 sixes and a century off just 30 balls — both records still untouched.
Though scoring rates have skyrocketed in recent IPLs, including SRH’s 286-run assault in the IPL 2025 opener, no one has seriously threatened Gayle’s mountain of runs in a single innings. His record signifies more than a numerical value; it serves as a testament to powerful, undeniable mastery.
Highest Partnership – Kohli & de Villiers (229 runs, 2016)
Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers set a record partnership of 229 runs against Gujarat Lions in 2016, surpassing their previous record of 215 runs against Mumbai Indians.
IPL 2025 introduces new partnerships, yet the effectiveness and synergy of this specific duo maintain a benchmark in T20 cricket.
Bowling Feats That May Never Be Repeated
Most IPL Hat-Tricks – Amit Mishra (3 Hat-Tricks)
Amit Mishra holds the unique record of three IPL hat-tricks, achieved while playing for Delhi Daredevils in 2008, Deccan Chargers in 2011, and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013.
Yuvraj Singh is the only player to have achieved a rare feat twice in 2009. In IPL 2025, despite the rise of skilled spinners, replicating this achievement shows a remarkable level of skill and consistency that is difficult to replicate.
Best Bowling Figures on Debut – Alzarri Joseph (6/12, 2019)
In 2019, Alzarri Joseph made a spectacular IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians, taking six wickets for just 12 runs against SRH. In addition to being among the best in IPL history, these numbers are the best for a debut. In IPL 2025, as debutants look to impress, this dream debut remains the ultimate script.
Fielding Masterclass That Stands the Test of Time
Most Catches in a Single Season – AB de Villiers (19, 2016)
In addition to being a superb batsman, AB de Villiers was also a fantastic fielder, setting an IPL 2016 record with 19 catches.
Both Riyan Parag and Ruturaj Gaikwad have recently shown strong performances, but AB stands out for his exceptional athleticism and reflexes. His record is considered a standard of excellence in the evolving fielding standards of the league.
Team Record That Embodies Dominance
Most Consecutive Wins – Kolkata Knight Riders (9 wins, 2014-15)
The Gautam Gambhir-led Kolkata Knight Riders won the 2014 title and nine games in a row in 2014 and 2015. Despite recent victories by teams like the Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, no team has been able to match KKR’s noteworthy winning streak in the erratic T20 environment of today. As IPL 2025 proceeds, KKR’s consistency under pressure stands out.
