RCB end their 17-year-long drought

This moment will certainly go down as the most memorable moment in the history of the entire IPL, let alone the previous edition. On the eve of the IPL 2025 Final, it all came together for RCB. With both RCB and PBKS chasing their maiden IPL title, the former trumped PBKS in a thrilling run chase and got over the line by six runs. All the years of heartbreak, trolls, and criticism were put to an end. RCB posted a formidable score of 190 batting first, with Kohli being the leading run scorer, scoring 43 (35). PBKS' onslaught was aggressive, and at one stage it seemed that they would get through. Despite Shashank's blazing cameo of 61 (30), RCB were able to hold them back and restrict them seven runs short of their desired target to script history in Ahmedabad. 

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's record-breaking ton against GT

The 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made an immediate impact while making his debut this season. He became the youngest player to feature in the cash-rich league. Although he had a modest outing in his debut game against LSG, scoring 34 runs off 20 balls. However, the teenager saved his best till the end and did what no expert would have expected him to do at such a tender age. During RR's clash with GT, Suryavanshi blasted it to all parts and notched up a thundering century (101 off 38 balls) against the Titans, to become not only the fastest Indian to score an IPL century, but also the second fastest of all time. That knock personified his legacy and highlighted his potential as a future cricketing star.

Abhishek Sharma's Explosive 141

Abhishek Sharma's remarkable innings of 141 runs from merely 55 balls against PBKS on April 12, 2025, is regarded as one of the most unforgettable performances in IPL history. The swashbuckling hitter set a new benchmark by becoming the highest individual scorer as an Indian player in IPL history. His breathtaking knock featured 10 sixes and 14 fours, propelling Sunrisers Hyderabad to a successful chase of 246. He joined hands with Travis Head at the top of the order and registered a robust 171-run opening stand to lay a foundation for a solid finish, completing the second-highest run chase in IPL history with nine balls to spare. This innings also became the third-highest individual score in the league's history.

Heinrich Klaasen's Blistering Century

Heinrich Klaasen's explosive innings of 105* off just 39 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on May 25, 2025, stands as one of the most remarkable performances in IPL history. This blistering knock not only propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a commanding total but also etched Klaasen's name in the record books. Heinrich Klaasen showcased his incredible power-hitting prowess and reached his century in a matter of just 37 balls, becoming the joint third-fastest centurion in IPL history, matching the record held by Chris Gayle and Yusuf Pathan. His whirlwind knock included seven fours and nine sixes as SRH posted their second-highest-ever IPL total of 278/3. KKR were crushed on the back of a scintillating ton from Klaasen and lost that game by a colossal margin of 110 runs.

Priyansh Arya's Rapid 39-Ball Century

Priyansh Arya proved to be a dynamite for his side in this year's IPL edition. The young PBKS batter made headlines by scoring a 39-ball century against CSK, becoming the third-fastest Indian to achieve this feat. It was also his maiden IPL century. His aggressive style of batting was put on show as he went hard at the vulnerable CSK bowlers. He began the innings with a six off the very first ball, setting the tone for a high-octane performance. He reached his century in 39 balls, making it the joint-fourth fastest in IPL history and the fastest by an uncapped Indian player. His blistering knock included seven fours and nine sixes, propelling Punjab Kings to a formidable total of 219/6 in 20 overs, the highest at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium.

Lowest score of 111 defended

In a league that is known to show no mercy on the bowlers, PBKS did the unthinkable. Playing against KKR, PBKS' batting capitulated as they were folded for a meager 111 inside the 16th over. What should have been a stroll in the park turned out to be an absolute horror show for KKR. The bowlers came to the rescue as PBKS were able to snatch a miraculous win whilst defending this paltry score.  While doing so, PBKS set a record for defending the lowest score in the history of IPL, surpassing the previous record of 116 runs defended by CSK against Kings XI Punjab in the 2009 season.

SRH's record-breaking total against RR

SRH set a new benchmark early on in the season by posting the second-highest total in IPL history, amassing 286/6 against RR, showcasing their explosive batting lineup. The team's aggressive approach first came to light when SRH amassed 94 runs in the first six overs, marking the fifth-highest powerplay total in IPL history. Subsequently, Ishan Kishan made an explosive debut for SRH, scoring an unbeaten 106 off 47 balls, including a rapid 45-ball century. Travis Head contributed a blistering 67 off 31 balls, setting the stage with a 94-run opening partnership with Abhishek Sharma to take SRH to a towering total. This 286-6 against RR stands as the second-highest in IPL history, just one run shy of their own record of 287/3 set in 2024.

RCB's fan frenzy in Ahmedabad

The IPL 2025 final witnessed an electrifying atmosphere as RCB fans flocked in numbers to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, chanting "RCB" and "Kohli Kohli," creating a home-game feel despite being away. RCB's massive fanbase made Ahmedabad feel like home away from home. Fans had waited long enough for RCB to reach this stage, and much to their joy, RCB defied all odds by conquering the top summit and clinching their maiden IPL title, something which had evaded them for 18 years. 

RCB's dominant performance against KKR

In the season opener, RCB commenced their campaign in a thumping fashion as they overshadowed KKR's total of 174/8 in just 16.2 overs, with Virat Kohli leading the charge with an unbeaten 59-run knock. This win also set the wheels in motion for something very monumental for the franchise.

Patidar also played a useful hand with the bat, scoring 34 off 16. RCB achieved the target with 22 balls to spare, showcasing their strong batting lineup and marking a strong start for them in the 2025 IPL season.

MS Dhoni's lightning stumping

MS Dhoni once again demonstrated his remarkable wicketkeeping abilities during the IPL 2025 match held on March 23, 2025, between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI). In the 11th over of MI's innings, CSK's spinner Noor Ahmad delivered a googly that outsmarted MI captain Suryakumar Yadav.
