Ishan Kishan: SRH dasher has nearly 3,000 IPL runs
What's the story
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had a disappointing run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, finishing sixth on the points table. The inconsistent form of star players was one of their biggest problems last season. With the 2026 season being just around the corner, the team would be raring to turn around their fortunes. The dashing Ishan Kishan would be instrumental to their success. On this note, let's decode his IPL stats.
Stats
Nearly 3,000 runs in IPL
Kishan, who has been associated with IPL since the 2016 season, has sored 2,998 runs across 119 games in the league at 29.10. His strike rate is a decent 137.64, as the tally includes 17 fifties and a solitary hundred. 2,325 of his runs have come in 89 games for Mumbai Indians at 29.80. He spent seven seasons at the franchise, staring from 2018. Notably, Kishan was sold to SRH for ₹11.25 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Campaign
Kishan blew hot and cold in IPL 2025
Kishan announced his arrival at SRH with a breathtaking 47-ball 106* in the team's IPL 2025 opener against Rajasthan Royals. However, he could enter double digits only once in his next six outings. Overall, he was dismissed under 20 seven times across 13 innings in the season. His only other 50-plus score was a 94 from 48 balls versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru in SRH's penultimate match. Kishan finished the season with 354 runs at 35.4 (SR: 152.58).
Form
Kishan has been in stellar form lately
Meanwhile, Kishan's recent form has been nothing but stellar. With 532 runs at an average of 40.92 and a strike rate of 207, Kishan is the leading run-getter in T20Is this year. He made 317 runs while striking at 193.29 in the 2026 T20 World Cup as India clinched the title. Since the start of 2025, Kishan has batted with a strike rate of 186.81 in T20 cricket. An average of 43.84 in this phase also underlines his consistency.
