Yes, you got it right! The IPL 2025 season has created history in terms of scoring 200+. As of 24 May 2025, this season has seen a team score of more than 200 42 times, which is the highest in any single season in the history of IPL.
But the question arises why did this happen? Let's know the main reasons behind this
This season, the batsmen adopted a very aggressive attitude right from the beginning. There was a competition to score as many runs as possible in the powerplay and the teams did not reduce their aggression even while chasing a big target. Now teams do not just focus on saving wickets, but try to score runs on every ball.
The pitches of many stadiums proved to be a paradise for the batsmen this season. The ball was coming easily on the bat, making it easier to hit big shots. Also, the short boundaries of some grounds also played an important role in making scores of 200+.
The 'Impact Player' rule has given teams more flexibility in their strategy. Now teams can field an additional specialist batsman or bowler as per their requirement. This directly benefited the batsmen, as teams are now able to field a longer batting lineup, giving them the freedom to play big shots till the last overs.
