The high number of sixes was contributed by aggressive batting strategies and favorable pitch conditions. With players like Heinrich Klaasen, leading the six-hitting charts with 38 sixes in the season of 2024 so can we see the 2025 season potentially challenge this record.

The record of the best bowling figures in an innings (6/12) by Alzarri Joseph from Mumbai Indians (MI) remains intact which was in the year 2019. With emerging bowlers making their mark, IPL 2025 might witness new benchmarks in bowling and would expect to get this record broken or atleast tied up.
