Vaibhav Suryavanshi Outpaced! Player with Just 3 Matches Tops IPL 2025 Strike Rate Charts

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.
