IPL 2025 - Odds for Top Batsman of The Tournament

When it comes to T20 cricket, a batsman sets up the momentum of a match. A T20 batter is known for his risk taking ability, quick judgment, and power hitting under pressured situations. It is not an easy task to be a T20 batting expert and help the team to win in difficult situations.

IPL 2025 is about to go on the floors and every cricket fan is choosing their top batter on the basis of the recent performances in T20 cricket. A batsman in the Indian Premier League needs to score runs consistently in every fixture while maintaining a higher strike rate.

In this article, we bring you the odds for the top batters who can become the leading run-scorers in the 18th season of IPL according to the Indian betting apps.

1) Shubman Gill - Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans skipper and India’s stylish top-order batter - Shubman Gill comes first in the list. He has not played much of T20 cricket since last year but Shubman Gill tops the scoring charts when it comes to the ODI format. During the recently held ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Gill displayed a very calm and composed performance. He anchored the innings for India as a top order batter and scored 188 runs in 5 matches at an average of 47 with a strike rate of 75.50.

2) Ruturaj Gaikwad - Chennai Super Kings

The Chennai Super Kings skipper - Ruturaj Gaikwad will be eyeing to reach the top this year. He was the 2nd highest run-scorer in the previous edition of IPL and had a positive outing in the whole season. Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in and out of team India for a long time but IPL 2025 is an opportunity for him to make his comeback to the senior team. He will be motivated to perform at his best and make a huge impact for the team.
 

3) Virat Kohli - Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli can’t be ignored in the list. He was the orange cap winner in IPL 2024 and has the capability to perform with the same momentum for the 2nd consecutive year. In the Champions Trophy 2025, Virat Kohli was the 5th highest run scorer with 218 runs in 5 matches at an average of 54.50 with a strike rate of 82.88. For IPL 2025, Virat Kohli might have done special preparations to reach the pinnacle again.

4) Travis Head - Sunrisers Hyderabad

Travis Head has become a living fear in the hearts of every bowler in the world. After his performance in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League, it is proven that there is nobody better than Travis Head who can hit the ball with more power. When it comes to international cricket in the last one year of time, Travis Head has displayed an average performance, but IPL is a chance for him to rejuvenate and get the much-needed confidence.

5) Suryakumar Yadav - Mumbai Indians

The Indian T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav will be promoted to number 3 in IPL 2025, and he will get more chance to play in every game. He is a T20 expert batter who can completely decimate any bowling attack and give a fabulous start to the team. One advantage with Surya is that he has played a lot of T20 cricket in the last and has the required momentum for IPL. It makes him a deserving candidate for the orange cap.

IPL 2025 - More Batters in Line for Orange Cap

Besides the names mentioned above, the newly elected RCB skipper Rajat Patidhar will be the man to watch out for. In the recently held Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament, Rajat was the 2nd highest run-scorer with 428 runs in 10 matches at an average of 61.14 and a strike rate of 186.18.

Abhishek Sharma is another candidate for the Orange cap in IPL 2025. He is the 2nd highest run-scorer in T20i cricket this year with 279 runs in 5 matches at an average of 55.80 and a strike rate of 219.68.
