Cricket is one of the most popular sports in India, and the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a platform that has revolutionized the game in the country. With the T20 format, IPL has allowed young Indian players to showcase their talent and compete with some of the best players from around the world.
One of the most impressive feats for batters in IPL is scoring 600 runs in a season. Achieving this feat before the age of 25 makes it more special as it displays exceptional skill, technique, and temperament at the biggest level.
Many young Indian players have achieved this feat, a testament to their abilities and dedication to the game. In this article, we will take a look at some of the Indian players who scored 600 runs in the IPL before the age of 25 so far.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is the first player in the list to have scored over 600 runs in an IPL season. He had a fantastic IPL 2023 season, setting a record run of 625 in just 14 matches. A century and five half-centuries let a left-handed batter attain this miraculous mark.
His gameplay has helped Rajasthan Royals win four matches in the IPL 2023 season. With 625 runs, he breaks the 15-year-old IPL record held by former Australian star Shaun Marsh in the IPL. Jaiswal now has the most runs scored by an uncapped player in IPL history.
Ruturaj Gaikwad of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) demonstrated to the world that this champion is on his way to rising through the ranks and establishing his mettle in the cricket world. He became only the third batter in the franchise’s history to score 635 runs in an Indian Premier League season at around 24 years.
Gaikwad’s 70 in the Qualifier 1 match against Delhi Capital helped him break the 600-run mark in IPL, making him the second batter after Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul to do so in the 2021 season. This performance helped CSK to secure a spot in the final.
