Several IPL milestones remain unachieved as of 2025

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been an exciting cricket tournament since it started in 2008. Over the years, many teams and players have set records, but some milestones have yet to be achieved. Here are five notable records that remain unbroken. Virat Kohli is one of the top players in IPL history, holding many records, including the most runs scored overall. However, he has not won an IPL title. Kohli is the only member of the original "Fab 3," which includes MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, who has not lifted the trophy. He led Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to the final in 2016, but the title still eludes him. Two teams, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, have also not won the IPL trophy. Both franchises have reached the playoffs several times and made it to the finals—Punjab in 2014 and Delhi in 2020—but have not secured a championship. Lucknow Super Giants, a newer team, has reached the playoffs but is still searching for its first title. Another record waiting to be set is the first player to score 1,000 runs in a single IPL season. Virat Kohli came the closest in 2016, finishing with 973 runs. This remains the highest total for a single season and is a milestone that players aim to reach. In terms of centuries, several players have scored multiple hundreds in a season, but none have hit five. Kohli and Jos Buttler currently share the record with four centuries each, making the five-century milestone an exciting goal for upcoming players. Finally, no team has scored over 300 runs in a single IPL match yet. The highest total was achieved by Sunrisers Hyderabad, who scored 287 runs against RCB in 2024. With the rise of powerful hitters in the game, it's expected that this record could be broken soon. The IPL 2025 season will kick off tonight with a match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Eden Gardens.
