Former cricketer Robin Uthappa made some big predictions ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. The former cricketer believes that several batting records will get broken in IPL 2025. He said that we might get to 1000 sixes getting hit, throughout the season and also predicted the 300-plus total along with the 275-plus chase in the upcoming season.
There were several high-scoring clashes in IPL 2024 where Sunrisers Hyderabad almost touched the 300-run mark as they posted 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which his now the highest-ever IPL total. Along with this, Punjab Kings also achieved the highest successful run chase as they chased 262 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders.
“This season, we might witness 1,000 sixes, a team scoring 300 runs in an innings, or even a 275+ run chase,” Robin Uthappa was quoted as saying by Crictracker.
IPL has become undisputed ‘daddy’ of T20 leagues: Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa also spoke about the global impact IPL had on the cricketing world. The two-time IPL winner believe that the Indian league has taken cricket to a new dimension and has evolved so rapidly that people haven’t been able to keep up with it.
“In the last 17 seasons, IPL has taken cricket to a whole new dimension, elevating the sport by two or three levels. The evolution has been so rapid that it has even left some people struggling to keep up. Cricket used to have a certain romance attached to it, but now, that romance has transformed into something faster, more passionate, and adrenaline-driven. The IPL has become the undisputed ‘daddy’ of T20 leagues worldwide—it has truly come of age. Innovation has been at the core of IPL’s success, and while it feels like we’ve seen it all, I have no doubt that there’s still plenty more in store,” Uthappa said.
