With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 just around the corner, several players are on the verge of breaking all-time records. Virat Kohli, the leading run-scorer in IPL history with 8004 runs, will look to extend his tally and strengthen his position at the top. Following him is Shikhar Dhawan, who currently sits second with 6769 runs, and Rohit Sharma, who is just behind with 6628 runs.
As the tournament progresses, other key milestones could be achieved:
- MS Dhoni (5243 runs) will continue to build on his legendary career as he plays yet another season for Chennai Super Kings.
- Chris Gayle’s six-hitting record (357 sixes) could see new challengers like Rohit Sharma (280 sixes) and Virat Kohli (272 sixes) closing in.
