IPL 2025: Records Broken from Ishan's century to Jofra's expensive over

The IPL 2025 season has already delivered breathtaking action, rewriting history with explosive performances, stunning collapses, and record-breaking feats. From unforgettable individual brilliance to jaw-dropping team totals, the tournament has set the stage for an electrifying battle. Power-packed batting displays, high-scoring thrillers, and unexpected twists have left fans on the edge of their seats, proving yet again why the IPL remains cricket’s most unpredictable and exhilarating spectacle.  

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the tournament throws another shocker, shattering expectations and setting new benchmarks. Legends have stumbled, young guns have risen, and the boundaries of possibility are being pushed with every passing game. Buckle up—this season is just getting started, and the best is yet to come!

The Mumbai Indians, a franchise synonymous with dominance, continue to battle a haunting curse—their opening-game woes. Once a team that struck fear into opponents, MI has now stumbled into an astonishing 13-season streak of first-match defeats, their last victorious season opener dating back to 2012. Adding salt to the wound, their fiercest rivals, the Chennai Super Kings, have tightened their grip in this legendary rivalry. Since the second leg of IPL 2021, CSK has emerged victorious in six of the last seven clashes, turning the once-balanced contest into a lopsided affair. With history weighing heavy on their shoulders, MI now faces a burning question—can they break free from this streak and reclaim their lost dominance, or will the ghosts of the past continue to haunt their campaign?

Ishan Kishan has set the IPL 2025 stage on fire, smashing the first century of the season in a breathtaking display of power-hitting! With fearless strokeplay and impeccable timing, the Mumbai Indians' explosive opener tore through the opposition, marking his arrival in grand style. As the tournament unfolds, this innings will be the benchmark.

Meanwhile, the IPL 2025 season has witnessed an absolute run-fest! SunRisers Hyderabad stormed into the record books with a jaw-dropping 286-run total against Rajasthan Royals, setting a new benchmark for batting dominance. In response, RR showcased their own firepower, posting their highest-ever IPL total of 242/6. However, SRH had already etched their name in history with a jaw-dropping 287/3 against RCB, cementing their place as the most ruthless batting unit the IPL has ever seen! Remarkably, their top three highest scores have all come while chasing, proving their relentless intent. In a tournament where bowlers are under siege and records are tumbling, one thing is clear no total is truly safe this season!

In a breathtaking display of power-hitting, SRH and RR combined for a staggering 497-run aggregate in Hyderabad, marking the third-highest match total in IPL history. But SRH's batting fury didn’t stop there—they blazed past the 200-run mark in just 14.1 overs, matching RCB’s record from 2016 for the fastest team 200. With records tumbling at a dizzying pace, IPL 2025 is proving to be a batter’s paradise where no target is safe and no boundary is too far!

Jofra Archer endured a nightmare spell, conceding a record-shattering 76 runs in his four overs—the most expensive figures in IPL history. A day to forget for the speedster, but a batting fiesta for his opponents! Meanwhile, Sanju Samson continues his tradition of fiery starts, notching a half-century in the opening game for the sixth consecutive season. From 74 in 2020 to 66 in 2025, the Rajasthan Royals captain has made first-match brilliance his signature move, stamping his authority right from the start!

IPL 2025 has kicked off with record-breaking performances and thrilling battles. Mumbai Indians' opening-game curse continues, while SRH dominates with historic totals. Ishan Kishan smashed the season’s first century, and Sanju Samson extended his streak of opening-game fifties. Jofra Archer endured the most expensive spell in IPL history. However, this is just the beginning—bigger records and electrifying moments await as the season unfolds!
