Top 10 Best Batsman In IPL 2025- Ranked

The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been exciting and thrilling. So far, in the competition, there have been low-scoring thrillers and some high-scoring games. But this year, there has been a contest between bat and ball. The bowlers are also having a good time and getting help from the wickets. However, the batter looks to score runs quickly, and so far, there has been just one century score in the tournament.
Who is the Best Batsman in IPL?
The batters in the TATA IPL of the 2025 edition have been tested by the bowlers. They did not score runs easily, and most of the batters from last season have failed so far. Batters with great technique have succeeded in the IPL so far; just one batter has scored a century in the league so far, and there have been two unbeaten 90s.
The fans are expecting more firepower from the batters as the league progresses. There will be more centuries and some blazing knocks from the young and experienced batters. We will take a look at some of the top batters in IPL 2025 and will rank them per the ranking factors. The ranking factors are Total Runs Scored, Impact, and Consistency. These three factors will help us rank some of the best batters in IPL from across the globe.
Total Runs
The most crucial aspect in ranking batters in the IPL is the runs scored. This is one of the factors that measure how a player contributes towards their team's score. In most cases, the highest scorers are the backbone of the batting order as they try to win matches for their teams. An athlete's frequent scoring of high totals in multiple matches indicates their form and skill in different playing conditions and situations.
Impact
The impact of a batter goes well beyond just the runs scored. The manner and timing of that run-scoring adds additional impact to redounds fashioned. Influential players like the ones mentioned above can shift the balance of a match with their ability to cut and thrust during key moments and deliver when under pressure. For instance, he scored 40 runs off 20 balls during a chase, which is arguably his best contribution. That, in comparison, is far more useful than scoring an easy 60 in an uninterestingly one-sided match.
Consistency
Consistency is a top-rated factor that distinguishes truly great IPL batsmen from one-off performances. A consistent batsman makes match-winning performances consistently, rather than simply having one or two exceptional innings a season. Batters who convert runs consistently help their teams avoid collapses and provide much-needed stability to the batting order.
