Rajat Patidar Surpasses Sachin & Ruturaj, Becomes the Second Fastest Indian to Score 1000 IPL Runs

IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar has achieved an important achievement in IPL 2025. In the match played against Punjab Kings, he completed 1000 runs in his IPL career by scoring 23 runs off 18 balls during his innings. This achievement is special for Patidar as he achieved this place in just 30 innings. With this, he has come second among the Indian batsmen who scored the fastest 1000 runs in IPL history.

Sachin Tendulkar and Rituraj left Gaikwad behind

Rajat Patidar surpassed the veterans of the cricket world with this achievement. RCB captain Rajat Patidar has completed the fastest 1000 runs in 25 innings of his IPL career, which is a record. Great batsman Sachin Tendulkar and CSK captain Rituraj Gaikwad played 31 innings to complete 1000 runs in the IPL. At the same time, Rajat achieved this position in only 30 innings, leaving both of them behind. This is considered a major achievement for them and reflects their hard work and strength.

Only one step behind Sai Sudarshan

Sai Sudarshan, who is a player of Gujarat Titans, is in the first place in this matter. He completed 1000 runs in the IPL in only 25 innings, which is the fastest record ever. However, Rajat Patidar touched the figure in his 30th innings and he overtook big names like Sachin Tendulkar, Rituraj Gaikwad with his best batting. This record of Patidar has become an important milestone in IPL history.

Fastest 1000 runs in IPL (Indian Batsman)

• Sai Sudarshan - 25 innings (Gujarat Titans - 2024)
• Silver Patidar - 30 innings (RCB - 2025)
• Sachin Tendulkar - 31 innings (2010)
• Rituraj Gaekwad - 31 innings (2022)
• Tilak Verma - 33 innings (2019)

This figure is a major achievement for silver, especially when he was successful in achieving this position in the biggest and difficult tournaments of IPL. His performance not only proves his batting ability, but also reflects his leadership qualities. His contribution as the captain of the team has been very important.

RCB's batting failed

However, except for Rajat Patidar's personal record, RCB's batting in the 34th match of IPL 2025 failed. The match was interrupted by rain and was played in 14–14 overs. RCB's team came to bat first and managed only 95 runs. Most of the team's big batsmen, such as Virat Kohli and Liam Livingstone, could not perform any special performance. During this, Tim David played an excellent innings of 50 runs, but he could not reach his team alone to a respectable score.
