IPL 2025 stats: RCB wins elusive title, Suryakumar Yadav shows his class
16 Consecutive scores of 25-plus for Suryakumar Yadav in the IPL 2025, the longest such streak for any batter in men's T20 cricket. Suryakumar passed Temba Bavuma's record on 26 May 2025 in MI's game against PBKSin Jaipur and extended his tally to two more. The South African had 13 successive scores of 25-plus runs between 2019 and 2020. Suryakumar, meanwhile, already holds the equivalent IPL record, having bettered Robin Uthappa's tally of 10 such consecutive scores made in 2014.

60 The number of balls to spare in Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) victory over Punjab Kings (PK) in the first Qualifier in Mullanpur on 29 May 2025. This is the biggest such win in an IPL playoff/knockout game. After dismissing Punjab for a paltry 101, RCB reached its target in 10 overs. In doing so, RCB became the 10th side in IPL history to successfully chase a target in 10 or fewer overs. However, it was the first to do so in a playoff match.

This strike-rate is now the second-highest achieved by any IPL batter during the innings in which the player reached 1000 IPL runs. However, in terms of actual balls faced while reaching the respective 1000th run in IPL, Russell is by far the quickest with 545 balls, followed by Travis Head (575 balls) and Salt one more at 576 balls.

‘Virat Kohli Noticing My Improvement Meant The World to Me'
Last Updated: Wadhera reflects on his breakout IPL 2025, sharing how Dravid's lessons, Iyer and Ponting's faith, and Kohli's praise shaped his fearless batting and hunger to excel. At just 24, Nehal Wadhera has emerged as one of Indian cricket's brightest young stars, propelled by a standout IPL 2025 campaign with Punjab Kings. In a freewheeling chat with Wadhera credits his fearless left-handed batting and adaptability as a floater to lessons from his India U-19 days under Rahul Dravid, who emphasised the importance of versatility in the middle order. His electrifying 70 against Rajasthan Royals showcased his knack for seizing momentum, a performance made possible by the confidence shown by captain Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting. A memorable highlight of the season was Virat Kohli greeting him in Punjabi and praising his composure—an endorsement that left a lasting impact. IPL is still fresh in everyone's mind. You came into Punjab Kings with high expectations and played the floater role—a tough one, since your entry point varies game to game. What was it like mentally preparing for that role? Talking about the floater role, I've always found myself in similar situations, even during domestic cricket. When I was with the India U-19 team, Rahul Dravid was our coach. He once asked someone, 'What's your favorite position to bat?" The player answered, 'Middle order." Then Dravid asked, 'What does a middle-order batsman mean?" The reply was, 'Number four, five, or six." Dravid said, 'There's no fixed number for a middle-order player. If you want to play for India, you must know how to bat at four, five, and six." That stuck with me. I knew going into the IPL that I wouldn't get my favourite spot. Just making it into the playing XI was a big achievement. I prepared with that mindset—wherever I bat, I must perform. Back home, I practiced situations like 30 for 4, 120 for 2, etc. I knew which bowlers to target, when and how to attack. That preparation gave me the confidence to bat at any position. Preparation is one thing, but execution is another. Your 70 against Rajasthan Royals was a highlight. What was going through your mind during that innings, especially when you accelerated? A player can only play such innings when he has the confidence of the coach and captain. They gave me that confidence and told us not to fear getting out. That takes the fear of failure away and brings out your best. In that game, I came in around the fifth over, hit a couple of early boundaries, and my momentum picked up. The bowlers bowled into my arc so that I could free my arms. I didn't set out to play that kind of innings—it just flowed. My bat felt in sync, and I made the most of it. Throughout the season, you often came in to counter spin and accelerate in the middle overs. Did you have to make any tactical adjustments for that? Most Indian players are good at playing spin because of the tough domestic pitches. In the Ranji Trophy, we get rank turners where even reading the ball is hard. That builds adaptability. The quality of spinners in the domestic circuit is high, even among players who aren't in the national team. So, we get tested constantly. That experience helped me adjust tactically in the IPL. Let's talk about that viral moment before the RCB game—Virat Kohli walking up to you. That must have been surreal. What was that like? That was our first match against RCB this season. Virat bhaiya was with Shreyas Iyer near our dressing room. He called me over and greeted me in Punjabi. After the game, I asked him if he noticed any improvement in my batting. Last to last season, he'd given me some advice, and I'd worked on it. He said, 'Yes, you're more composed now. You know where and when to hit." For someone like me—just three IPL seasons in—it meant the world to get that encouragement from a legend like him. Did you get a bat from him? Everyone seems to! (laughs) No, I don't ask for bats. It's a personal thing for players. I'm not one of those. Coming back to Punjab Kings. You were with Mumbai Indians for two years. What was different between the MI setup and PBKS? Every franchise has its own culture, but the way I was treated in MI and PBKS was the same—very supportive. The main difference was my role. In MI, there were big names like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Tim David, Cameron Green and Jasprit Bumrah. It was hard to break in. But in Punjab, I felt more responsibility. Players like me, Prabhsimran [Singh], Shashank [Singh], and Harpreet Brar hadn't played internationally yet. We had that hunger to prove ourselves. That energy drove us to give 100%. Shreyas Iyer played a big role too—on and off the field. Anything specific that made you look up to him as a leader? I saw an interview where he said, 'Don't make yourself so available that people take you for granted." That line hit me. On the field, I saw that same discipline. Off the field, too, he was focused—diet, routine, everything. Even on flights, he'd carry his own food. That level of commitment reflected in his captaincy. And what about Ricky Ponting—another legend. Any special moment with him? Ponting sir never made you feel like he was a World Cup-winning captain. Despite his aggressive on-field image, he was the happiest guy off it. After the final, I wasn't in a great mood. He asked me if I was coming to the team get-together. I said no. He said, 'You should be the first one there." That's the kind of support he gives you. He brings the best out of every player. Let's go back to that final. After the match, you took responsibility for the loss. What was your mindset then? People talked about pressure, but I didn't feel it that way. I wanted to take the game deep, but I ended up playing too many dot balls. I wasn't able to finish. Yes, if I had batted better, we could have won. It was just one of those days. This IPL season has been a breakout one for you. What are your short-term and long-term goals? My immediate goal is to do well in the domestic season and help Punjab win a trophy. After that, if India A or any other opportunity comes, I want to be ready. I want to be an even better player than I was this IPL and represent India one day. top videos View all Finally, Shubman Gill. You've known him since your junior days. Now he's India's Test captain. What do you think of him as a leader? We've played under-16 together and trained at Punjab camps. I think he has all the qualities of a good captain. We haven't been in touch much since he started playing for India, but I know he'll lead well. I truly believe that.

Zeeshan eyeing another dominant season
Lucknow: After the mini-auction, players are gearing up for the third edition of the UPT20 League 2025, which is likely to begin in August. Zeeshan Ansari , the highest wicket-taker of the previous edition — a performance that opened doors to the Indian Premier League for him — is all set to shine once again. Zeeshan, who was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for Rs 40 lakh, took 6 wickets in 10 matches in this year's IPL season. Responding to a question about whether he feels any pressure to perform in this season of the UPT20 League, Zeeshan said, "I don't play under pressure or for records. If I keep doing what I've been doing, I believe things will turn out well. My approach is going to be the same, whether it's the IPL or the UPT20 League." Speaking about the UPT20 League, the Lucknow-based leg-spinner said, "In my opinion, it's a huge platform for every player. If you perform well, you will be noticed. Around 10–12 players from Uttar Pradesh have managed to make it to the IPL." Zeeshan further emphasised the importance of fitness in today's competitive cricket. "The main thing is to stay fit throughout the year. I've worked with IPL trainers and have now hired a personal trainer for myself." When asked to compare the IPL with the UPT20 League, Ansari said, "The difference is mainly about pressure. In the UP T20 League, there's less pressure and a smaller audience. But in the IPL, there's a huge crowd, and people expect you to perform. It's all about how well you handle the pressure." "To be honest, I couldn't play to my full potential because it was my debut season. Initially, I wasn't sure if I'd even make it to the playing XI," he added. On playing domestic cricket, Zeeshan said, "Domestic cricket is crucial. Performing in domestic cricket isn't easy. Even if you do well in the IPL and get noticed, taking wickets in the Ranji Trophy shows your true calibre." When asked about his preparations for this season after being the highest wicket-taker in last year's UPT20 League, he said, "My goal is to bowl well and be at the top again," he signed off.

Teams from 'south' have Club World Cup heat advantage: Dortmund's Kovac
Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac said Friday teams from the "south" have an advantage on European teams at the Club World Cup because of the current high temperatures in the United States. HT Image South American teams have impressed at the tournament and are unbeaten to this point, while Dortmund's South African opponents on Saturday, Mamelodi Sundowns, beat Ulsan HD in their first Group F match. Temperatures are expected to rise up to 32 degrees Celsius during the game at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, kicking off at 12:00 pm local time. Kovac's uninspired Dortmund were held to a 0-0 draw by Brazilian side Fluminense in their opening match on Tuesday. "At the moment in this tournament you see that the clubs from the south, I think they have a big advantage because of the conditions, of the heat," Croatian coach Kovac told reporters. "We're respecting every team and we know this is a very good team, from Africa, from South Africa." Brazilian side Botafogo stunned Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday, while Chelsea lost against another Brazilian team in Flamengo. Some players and coaches have complained about the heat and humidity they have been forced to play in at FIFA's expanded competition, as well as fans who have also suffered. "For the spectators in the stadium it is incredibly hot, now you can imagine how difficult it is for the players," continued Kovac. " 32 degrees when you're in the shade, and you're not even in the sun. So when you play inside the stadium you can assume it is 3, 4 or 5 degrees even hotter. "These are not excuses, it's just an explanation... this is very difficult, especially for the Europeans. The players from the south, for them it's easier because they are used to these temperatures." Kovac said his team would try to keep the ball away from Mamelodi because of the sweltering conditions in Ohio. "We need to prevent them from possessing the ball, we all know that it is going to be very warm, extremely hot tomorrow," said the coach. "We will play at noon tomorrow and we will play under the sunlight, we need to make sure we have the ball at all times. "If you have to run after the ball, it will mean a lot of effort." Kovac would not reveal if Jobe Bellingham, brother of Real Madrid star Jude, would be handed his first start, but said it was an option. "Don't forget to bring sunscreen, hat, and enough water to drink," Kovac warned reporters before departing. "Everyone on the bench will be under the sun for the entire time." Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso was hopeful of springing a surprise against Dortmund. "Upsets can happen when the mental conviction of the team is strong and their emotional connection is so strong that magic can happen," he told reporters. rbs/ea BORUSSIA DORTMUND This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
