Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s explosive batting in IPL 2025 made headlines, especially at just 14 years old. Despite Rajasthan Royals bowing out in the group stage, Vaibhav’s season was a major success, earning him a spot in India’s Under-19 squad touring England from June 24.
However, there’s one area where Vaibhav faced a surprising setback—strike rate rankings. Though he held the highest strike rate during the IPL 2025 group stages with an impressive 206.55 across 7 matches, he was overtaken by Chennai Super Kings’ Urvil Patel, who played only 3 matches but ended with a superior strike rate of 212.50.
Thus, while Vaibhav remains a rising star, Urvil Patel clinched the top spot for the highest strike rate in IPL 2025, leaving Vaibhav in second place.
