Virat Kohli to Shreyas Iyer: Top 5 Indian batters to score most runs in IPL 2025
The dominance of batsmen was once again seen in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. There was a pile of runs in almost all the matches and many records were broken. Batsmen dominated more than bowlers. In the battle of ball and bat, we can say that the bat won, because according to the batting pitches and new rules, the batsmen scored a lot of runs with fours and sixes.
Like the last season, Indian batsmen also spread their flair in the 18th IPL season. Along with many star batsmen, uncapped players also impressed everyone with their performance and staked their claim for the national team. Through this story, we are going to tell you about the top-5 highest run-scoring Indian batsmen. 4 Indians were among the top-5 highest run-scorers in IPL 2025, only Australian batsman Mitchell Marsh of Lucknow Super Giants was at the 5th position.

During this, he scored 6 half-centuries and 1 century. He was awarded the prestigious Orange Cap for scoring the most runs in the entire tournament.
Mumbai Indians (MI)'s Suryakumar Yadav scored the second-most runs in the recently concluded IPL season in IPL 2025. Considered a T20 specialist, this dashing batsman finished his season with 717 runs in 16 matches. During this, he scored 5 half-centuries and played an important role in taking MI to the playoffs by winning consecutive matches after a poor start.
In IPL 2025, right-handed star batsman Virat Kohli's 17-year-old unfulfilled dream came true. Because his team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won their maiden IPL title. Also, this season, Virat Kohli finished third in the list of highest run-scorers. Kohli scored a total of 657 runs in 15 matches at an impressive average of 54.75.
Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill not only did brilliant captaincy, but also showed his skill with the bat.

He scored a total of 650 runs in 15 matches with the help of 6 half-centuries.
Right-handed star batsman Shreyas Iyer led Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the final after 14 years under his captaincy. He proved his captaincy throughout the season, although his team lost the final match to RCB by 6 runs. Iyer scored a total of 604 runs in 17 matches in the entire tournament.

'Deaths at 3:50 pm, I got information at 5:45': Siddaramaiah on why RCB felicitation event continued despite stampede; says 'I went as invitee'
Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah (File photo) NEW DELHI: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday defended the decision to go ahead with the event to felicitate the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) players in front of the Karnataka Vidhana Soudha despite a stampede outside the nearby Chinnaswamy Stadium, the team's home ground. On June 4, along with the ceremony to felicitate RCB on clinching their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title, a celebration was also held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a large number of fans thronged, leading to stampede, in which 11 people died and 56 were injured. "Actually at 3:50 pm, deaths were reported at the hospital. I got to know only at 5:45 pm. Until then, I did not know about the stampede and deaths," news agency PTI quoted Siddaramaiah as saying. He was speaking to reporters during a visit to Mysuru. The chief minister also clarified that the ceremony at the Vidhana Soudha was by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and that he attended the programme only as an invitee. "The KSCA secretary and treasurer met and invited me. It was not organised by us. They had, and I was invited. They told me that the governor would also come. So, I had gone. Other than that, I don't know anything. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The government has nothing to do...I was not invited to the stadium event," the Congress leader said. "Nothing untoward happened at the Vidhana Soudha. The stampede incident happened at the stadium later," he added. DCP's letter surfaces Siddaramaiah's remarks come even as a letter by DCP (Vidhana Soudha security) to the secretary to the Karnataka government's Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), surfaced . The letter warned against organising the function hastily, and highlighted that the force did not have an adequate number of personnel to provide security for a ceremony where a large number of people would gather, at short notice. This in response to the DPAR seeking the DCP's opinion on holding the felicitation event on the grand stairs of the Vidhana Soudha to honour the RCB players. "RCB has a fan following across the country. Organising the event in a hurry on the grand stairs of Vidhana Soudha will lead to lakhs of cricket fans arriving there. This will lead to problems in 'bandobast' (arrangement) since there is a shortage of officers/personnel," the DCP's letter read. The officer further said if the event is organised, passes for visitors to Vidhana Soudha should be completely stopped. Also, as there were chances of the secretariat staff getting their family members for the event, he suggested an order aimed at ensuring this doesn't happen. The officer also sought a holiday in the afternoon for secretariat staff to ensure that they too don't come there. The DCP also called for installation of more CCTV cameras in the vicinity of Vidhana Soudha - which is a vital installation - and nearby places in view of the large gatherings expected.

From desert heat to icy rinks: How 3 Jodhpur sisters shattered norms to play ice hockey
Dehradun: From the blazing sands of Rajasthan's Thar desert to the icy rinks of Dehradun, three cousin sisters have carved an unlikely path into the world of ice hockey, a sport as alien to their environment as snow in Jodhpur. Battling both the heat and entrenched gender stereotypes, Rashmi, 18, Priya, 18, and Lakshmi Bishnoi, 17, are now representing their state at the national ice hockey championship being held in Dehradun from June 8 to 17. "We faced a lot of discouragement from relatives who believed girls shouldn't play sports, especially something like ice hockey. Some even tried to moral police us, saying girls have to wear shorts to play and so shouldn't be allowed in any sport. But our families stood by us ever since we showed interest in sports as children," said Rashmi, captain of Rajasthan's women's ice hockey team and a BA student. The three were previously part of the junior national field hockey team before transitioning to ice hockey just over a year ago. Priya, who is also pursuing a BA, said, "We also play roller skating, so learning ice skating wasn't too difficult. Since we already had field hockey skills, we just had to work on balancing while skating and playing because this is a much faster game." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 7 Things the New President Plans To Do for Seniors On SS This Year SuperSavings Learn More Undo The youngest, Lakshmi, said, "We now want to build our future in ice hockey, with the dream of representing India one day. The Indian women's team winning bronze at the recent Asian championship in Abu Dhabi has inspired us even more." With no ice rinks in Rajasthan, the sisters train on inline hockey rinks for 10 months and practise on ice for two months in Gurgaon. Vishnu, secretary of the Rajasthan Ice Hockey Association, who is accompanying the team, said, "Inline hockey players use roller skates and follow rules quite similar to ice hockey, so the transition isn't too hard. Now that Dehradun has the country's only Olympic-standard ice rink, it will be a great asset for training as the sport is slowly gaining traction in Rajasthan. Kids are drawn to it because it's part of the Winter Olympics. "
