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. Digvesh Rathi (Lucknow Super Giants) 7 / 10 Despite a one-match ban, Digvesh Rathi proved to be a critical weapon for LSG. 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.

Mumbai Indians Penalised With Bizarre No-Ball For Breaching Little-Known IPL Rule vs Delhi Capitals
Mumbai Indians were penalised with a no-ball after a breaking a little-known rule during the IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday. During the third delivery of the fifth over, Will Jacks was bowling to Vipraj Nigam when the umpire decided to signal no-ball. The reason behind the decision was the fact that there were just three fielders on the off-side for MI. According to the official IPL Match Playing Conditions in section 28.4.1, there should be no more than five fielders on the on-side. 'At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fielders on the on side," reads the playing conditions. Coming to the match, Suryakumar Yadav 's doughty 73 not out proved to be the difference as Mumbai Indians sealed the fourth and final play-off berth with a 59-run trouncing of Delhi Capitals. Suryakumar's masterclass — a 43-ball knock with seven fours and half a dozen sixes in adverse situation — paved the way for a dominating win. The five-time champions had not made the play-offs last year. Delhi Capitals, who came into this contest with their fair share of opportunity to reach the final four, saw the tables being turned on them when MI batters collected 48 runs off the last two overs. But the visitors were also guilty of a meek reply in a do-or-die contest which had their top-order blown away in the powerplay, leaving the rest of the contest a mere formality. Chasing 181, Delhi Capitals, who were without regular skipper Axar Patel in this game, rolled over for 121 in 18.2 overs with Sameer Rizvi (39) being the top scorer. Mitchell Santner was the pick of the Mumbai Indians bowlers, returning 4-0-11-3 and accounting for Rizvi, Vipraj Nigam (20) and Ashutosh Sharma (18). Jasprit Bumrah enjoyed another successful outing as he returned 3.2-0-12-3. (With PTI inputs) Listen to the latest songs, only on

'IPL has been a life-changer for me,' says DC all-rounder Nigam
NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals all-rounder Vipraj Nigam says the ongoing IPL has brought significant changes to his life, adding that the lessons he's picked up while sharing the dressing room with some of the game's greats will help him immensely in his budding career. The 20-year-old Nigam, who was picked by DC for Rs 50 lakh, has impressed in the tournament with both bat and ball. Reflecting on the life-changing experience of sharing the dressing room with senior players, Nigam said: "There have been a lot of changes in life. With the IPL, things always change, you get the chance to share the field with such big, senior players, to learn from how they go about things, and to experience their approach up close. These are all new experiences for me, and I'll try to apply the same learnings in my own game." Nigam praised the Delhi Capitals coaching staff for providing clarity regarding his all-round role. "When I was picked by Delhi Capitals, even before that, I had discussions with my coaches and the management. They always told me they see me as an all-rounder. They had seen my batting in league and domestic cricket, so the message was clear, while I would be expected to bowl 2-4 overs, I also had to focus equally on my batting," he told JioHotstar.

IPL Has Been A Life-Changer For Me: Uncapped Delhi Capitals Star On Debut Season
Delhi Capitals all-rounder Vipraj Nigam feels the ongoing IPL has brought a lot of changes in his life, and said the learnings which he got by sharing the dressing room with greats of the game will definitely help him in his nascent career. The 20-year-old Nigam, who was picked for Rs 50 lakh by DC, has been impressive in the IPL with both bat and ball. Reflecting on the life-changing experience of sharing the dressing room with senior players, Nigam said: "There have been a lot of changes in life. With the IPL, things always change - you get the chance to share the field with such big, senior players, to learn from how they go about things, and to experience their approach up close. "These are all new experiences for me, and I'll try to apply the same learnings in my own game." Nigam praised DC coaching staff for providing him clarity about his all-round ability. "When I was picked by Delhi Capitals, even before that, I had discussions with my coaches and the management. They always told me they see me as an all-rounder. They had seen my batting in league and domestic cricket, so the message was clear - while I would be expected to bowl 2-4 overs, I also had to focus equally on my batting," he told JioHotstar. "From our practice matches itself, that role was well defined. The coaches consistently told me to work on both aspects of my game." The young cricketer from Barbanki, Uttar Pradesh credited his childhood coach for shaping his cricketing career. "I have played the UPT20 League. The best part for me was the support I got from my coach. He helped me understand that if you're a bowler - and if you're unable to hit sixes or finish games - you limit your overall growth. Spending time with him really helped me develop as a player," Nigam said. He believes the stint at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) was the turning point in his evolution as a bowler. "When I went to the NCA after playing for my state, the coaches there really helped me grow. I went as a batsman, but I practised both batting and bowling. "As a leg-spinner, they told me to start taking my bowling seriously. Earlier, I used to bowl just 2-3 overs as a part-timer, but after going to the NCA, that mindset changed completely," Nigam concluded.
