photoDetails english 2913137 Updated:Jun 09, 2025, 10:10 AM IST Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rajasthan Royals) 1 / 10 The biggest sensation of IPL 2025, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi took the league by storm with a stunning 35-ball century. In just 7 matches, he racked up 252 runs and finished the season with a jaw-dropping strike rate of over 206. His fearless hitting and maturity beyond his years earned him the Super Striker of the Season award. Vipraj Nigam (Delhi Capitals) 2 / 10 A promising spin-bowling all-rounder, Vipraj Nigam contributed in both departments. He struck at 179.75 with the bat and chipped in with 11 wickets, often providing Delhi breakthroughs in tight moments. Priyansh Arya (Punjab Kings) 3 / 10 Bought for Rs. 3.8 crore, Priyansh Arya repaid every rupee with a brilliant debut season. His century against CSK was one of the most memorable knocks of the tournament. Arya consistently gave Punjab strong starts and ended with 475 runs a key contributor in PBKS's dream run to the finals. Prabhsimran Singh (Punjab Kings) 4 / 10 A familiar name in domestic circles, Prabhsimran had a breakthrough season in 2025. He topped the run charts among uncapped Indian players with 549 runs and a blazing strike rate, often giving PBKS explosive starts. Nehal Wadhera (MI) 5 / 10 After underwhelming seasons with MI, Nehal Wadhera found his form with PBKS, who trusted him with a Rs. 4.2 crore price tag. He repaid the faith by smashing 369 runs, including two half-centuries, playing key roles in PBKS's top-order success. Naman Dhir (Mumbai Indians) 6 / 10 A reliable finisher in the lower middle order, Naman Dhir impressed with his strike rate and temperament. Across 16 games, he scored 252 runs, often giving MI the late flourish they needed.

The Delhi leg-spinner was consistent throughout the season, taking 14 wickets in 13 matches while maintaining a decent economy rate. Ayush Mhatre (Chennai Super Kings) 8 / 10 In a disappointing season for CSK, Ayush Mhatre was a rare silver lining. Making his T20 debut at any level, Mhatre scored 240 runs in just 7 matches and became one of CSK's top three run-scorers. His elegant strokeplay and composure stood out in a struggling lineup. Ashwani Kumar (Mumbai Indians) 9 / 10 Fast bowler Ashwani Kumar delivered some fiery spells, including a memorable four-wicket haul against Kolkata Knight Riders. His raw pace and ability to strike in the middle overs made him a valuable asset for MI. Aniket Verma (Sunrisers Hyderabad) 10 / 10 Aniket Verma added firepower to SRH's middle order with clean hitting and aggressive intent. With 20 sixes and a high strike rate, his cameo knocks often shifted momentum in SRH's favor.

RR's young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi vows to shine brighter in IPL 2026
At just 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already become one of the most talked-about young cricketers in the Indian Premier League. Making a sensational entry into professional cricket with Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, the left-handed batting prodigy left a lasting impression with his fearless strokeplay, maturity beyond his age, and game-changing ability. While the Royals may have fallen short collectively this season, Suryavanshi's individual brilliance was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise forgettable campaign. Now, with one unforgettable season under his belt, the teenager has set his sights on IPL 2026 — promising to return stronger, sharper, and even more impactful for his team. Fastest Indian T20 century and youngest ever to do so Suryavanshi's defining moment came against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur, where he blazed his way to a 35-ball century — the fastest by an Indian in T20 history and second overall in the IPL. His 101 off just 38 deliveries, including seven boundaries and 11 towering sixes, also earned him the distinction of being the youngest men's T20 centurion at just 14 years and 32 days. For his fearless hitting and remarkable strike rate, he was later honoured with the Super Striker of the Season award. Focused on growth and team success Reflecting on his first IPL season, Suryavanshi admitted that while it was a dream come true, it also taught him valuable lessons. He noted that there were areas for improvement and added that his goal now is to double his efforts so that Rajasthan Royals can reach the final in the upcoming edition. According to him, contributing more significantly to the team's success will be his top priority. U-19 India call-up and England challenge His stellar IPL run also earned him a place in the India U-19 squad for the upcoming tour of England. Calling it a new chapter, Suryavanshi shared that he's excited to experience playing overseas for the first time. The squad will be led by Mumbai's Ayush Mhatre, another IPL debutant who played for CSK this season.
