IPL 2025 Highs and Lows – Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The Youngest T20 Centurion
Vaibhav Suryavanshi made history for the Rajasthan Royals at the age of 14, scoring a century in 35 balls against the Gujarat Titans, a remarkable feat.

He has become the youngest T20 centurion. Ravi Shastri called him fearless, and fans have loved his story.

Ayush Mhatre: Chennai’s Rising Star
Seventeen-year-old Ayush Mhatre of Chennai Super Kings was a standout in IPL 2025. Signed for Rs 30 lakh for the season, he replaced the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad.
He smashed 94 runs in 45 balls against RCB, including 9 fours and 5 sixes, proving he can handle big games. On his debut against Mumbai, he scored 32 runs in 15 balls, catching everyone’s attention.
Coach Stephen Fleming said Mhatre’s batting is smooth and powerful. Although CSK’s season ended poorly, Mhatre’s tally of over 200 runs gives fans much hope for the future.
Rishabh Pant: A Season of Struggles
Rishabh Pant of Lucknow Super Giants, bought for Rs 27 crore, had a decent IPL 2025 season. He scored 269 runs in 14 matches, including a century in the last match, but his average was quite low at 19.21 for the season.
Fans expected more from his captaincy, but Lucknow Super Giants missed the playoffs, and Pant’s performance was underwhelming.
His 2024 season was impressive, but afterwards, Pant’s form declined, and he couldn’t deliver consistently.
