Top 5 moments in IPL

Hi, I’m Nirav Prakash, and today I’d want to bring you the top five moments that comprise the 2025 Indian Premier League, which is the nation’s prized match series.

#1 The Cricket’s Unpredictable Nature

Vaibhav Suryavanshi

14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi of the Rajasthan Royals struck history by being the youngest player to make a century in the Indian Premier League in an innings that electrified the cricket community. He hammered 11 out-of-the- world sixes in his blazing 101 runs off a mere 35 balls against the Gujarat Titans. which, considering how a great batter like Virat Kohli could only manage to get a century in 67 balls, is not a cakewalk to accomplish. This astounding endeavour not only set multiple benchmarks but also persuaded an abundance of fans to develop an interest in cricket, which might involve you as well as me.
Regrettably Vaibhav Suryanshi experienced the unpredictable scenario of professional cricket during the very following match. Suryavanshi was ejected for a ball duck during his third match, sending an alarming message to everyone regarding how volatile the sport can prove to be.

#2 Royalty Six Streak

On the pitch, the Rajasthan Royals batsman produced a tremendous effort in order to succeed. The Royals found themselves in a disastrous position with 71 runs/5 wickets after chasing a challenging mark of 207 runs set by Kolkata’s one and only, the Kolkata Knight Riders. Although the match was fascinating, the Royals produced an exceptional comeback when batsman Riyan Parag earned 95 runs in just 45 balls. Riyan Parag slammed six consecutive sixes in the thirteenth over. A margin that was never witnessed in the entire history of the IPL. Unfortunately, it only required a single run to eliminate the Royals on this battlefield.

#3 Behind The Stumps, It’s MS Dhoni

During a match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, MS Dhoni exhibited his undefined effectiveness in wicketkeeping capabilities at a moment that restored him back to his peak. Upon facing Surya Kumar Yadav in the eleventh over, Dhoni produced a supersonic stumping that got this batsman off by just 0.12 seconds. In addition to leaving audiences in marvel, this demonstration of agility and precision served as a stark reminder that, despite his advanced age, his enthusiasm for the game continues to stay youthful.

#4 The Explosive Century From Priyansh Arya

With his explosive batting aptitude, Priyansh Arya, who had been playing alongside the Punjab Kings, made a significant influence. Arya was recorded to be the third-fastest Indian player to score a century in IPL history on April 8, 2025, as he scored a phenomenal century off of 39 balls against the Chennai Super Kings. His aggressive approach showcased the development of an emerging class of power hitters in the league and infused Punjab’s innings with much-needed energy.

#5 Nicholas Pooran’s Stunning Outcomes

Nicholas Pooran’s performance during a match involving Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Lucknow Super Giants established a new standard for T20 batting. During the SRH vs. LSG match, he accomplished the unbelievable achievement by becoming the first batsman in IPL history to score four fifties in less than twenty balls. In spite of guiding his team to victory, Pooran’s blazing half-century demonstrated how T20 cricket is evolving and how aggressive striking is becoming progressively more common.
