IPL 2025 Ranking All 10 Teams on Capability to Score 300 Runs

Sunrisers Hyderabad, the outlier in our ranking of all 10 teams, basis capability to score 300 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

It started in IPL 2024, and is continuing in IPL 2025 as well. The kind of scoring ease we have been seeing currently in the Indian Premier League is astonishing. There was a time when reaching 200 runs was considered a winning total in T20 cricket. But such has been the development of the game that even 260-280 totals don’t seem far out of reach from the teams currently playing in the Indian Premier League. 

Hence, 300 is something that each team now has in mind as their dream total. Make no mistake, scoring 300 runs is no joke in T20 cricket, and it has never been surpassed in the Indian Premier League or International Cricket (Minus Associates). Not only do you need extraordinary striking in the powerplay, but also someone who can hit magnificent sixes, and find gaps in the middle overs. You need batters who can play these roles effectively to be able to each 300 runs.

But do we have team’s’ that can do this in this edition of the IPL? Well, there are 2-3 teams that have players across the batting-order to help accumulate 300 runs for their teams. But how about all teams’ players placed to be able to take their team to 300+ totals? Well, let’s analyze the best first-choice strikers of each team, and find out the ranking of each team basis their capability to score 300+ runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.   

IPL 2025 All 10 Teams Ranking for Scoring 300 Runs

#10: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

1. Rahul Tripathi
2. Rachin Ravindra
3. Ruturaj Gaikwad
4. Shivam Dube
5. Ravindra Jadeja

It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but Chennai Super Kings is one team that has not built a squad that can outrageously score 300 runs in the T20 format. The team’s core strength is playing low to medium-scoring matches. Rachin Ravindra is the batter that can hit the ball right away in almost every match that he will play, but aside from his, the likes of Ruturaj, Dube, Jadeja, Tripathi, etc., are good for 200-220 kind of matches at max. 

#9: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Gujarat Titans (GT)

1. Shubman Gill
2. Jos Buttler
3. Sai Sudharsan
4. Shahrukh Khan
5. Sherfane Rutherford

Number 9 belongs to the Gujarat Titans team, and the team follows a similar but slightly better template in batting than CSK. Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford are naturally attacking batters in the side. But the likes of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Shahrukh Khan are good for 200-220 kind of matches at max. But scoring 300 in a game for the Gujarat Titans seems out of reach as of now. 

#8: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Delhi Capitals (DC)

1. KL Rahul
2. Jake Fraser-McGurk
3. Faf du Plessis
4. Abhishek Porel
5. Tristan Stubbs

For number 8, we have the Delhi Capitals team, and they are once again a slight upgrade over CSK and the Gujarat Titans. The team has three naturally attacking batters, Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs. But aside from these three, KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis are generally slow starters, and that kind of reduces their probability of scoring 300 runs. So, overall, Delhi Captials are good for 220-240 kind of matches at max. 

#7: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Punjab Kings (PBKS)

1. Priyansh Arya
2. Prabsimran Singh
3. Shreyas Iyer
4. Glenn Maxwell
5. Shashank Singh

Number 7 belongs to the Punjab Kings team, and almost all their batters play aggressive cricket, but will marginally lesser capability than the competition. Priyansh Arya is a newbie, but he does play attacking cricket. Similarly, the likes of Prabsimran SIngh, Shreyas Iyer, Glenn Maxwell, and Shashank Singha are natural strikers of the ball, and given the opportunity, they can definitely come close to 300 runs, if not cross it. 

#6: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Rajasthan Royals (RR)

1. Sanju Samson
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal
3. Nitish Rana
4. Riyan Parag
5. Dhruv Jurel

For number 6, we have the Rajasthan Royals team, and the team is filled with some quality aggressive hitters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, and Dhurv Jurel. Nitish Rana is also naturally aggressive, but his batting position should be 3 at max, and he should be sent to utilize the powerplay. If RR can get their batting order right, 300 is definitely not out of reach. 

#5: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

1. Quinton de Kock
2. Sunil Narine
3. Ajinkya Rahane
4. Rinku Singh
5. Andre Russell

Number 5 belongs to the KKR team, and there are some quality strikers in their side. Right from Narine, de Kock, Rahane to Rinku and Russell. This is a quality batting lineup that can definitely come closer to 300 runs, if not surpass it. The team can pay attacking cricket from ball 1 with Narine and de Kock donning that role. Rahane has improved his hitting ability supremely, and Rinku and Russell can make it easier to score as finishers. 

#4: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

1. Phil Salt
2. Virat Kohli
3. Rajat Patidar
4. Liam Livingstone
5. Jitesh Sharma 

For number 4, we have the RCB team, and the team has natural strikers in their side. The good thing is that Kohli has developed his game significantly, and goes hard right from ball 1. While Kohli plays aggressively, the likes of Salt, Patidar, Livingstone, and Jitesh make it even easier for the RCB team to have the capability to score 300 runs, or come closer to it. With 7 matches scheduled at home for RCB, expect them to take a shot at 300 at least once.

#3: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

1. Aiden Markram
2. Mitchell Marsh
3. Rishabh Pant
4. Nicholas Pooran
5. David Miller

Number 3 belongs to the LSG team, and the team has some brilliant strikers in their lineup. All 5 batters mentioned – Markram, Marsh, Pooran, Pant, and Miller can strike well. However, the only issue is Pant, who seems to be their weak link if they were to score 300 runs. Pant of 2018 was a monster, but in 2025, his striking ability has gone down. However, if he finds the rhythm, he certainly can score at 200-250 kind of SRs. If that happens, and other batters support LSG, 300 is definitely not out of reach. 

#2: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Mumbai Indians (MI)

1. Ryan Rickenton
2. Rohit Sharma
3. Suryakumar Yadav
4. Tilak Varma
5. Hardik Pandya

Number 2 belongs to the Mumbai Indians team, and the team has has 5 naturally attacking batters with quality hitting ability in their side. Right from Rickelton, Rohit, and Suryakumar Yadav to Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya, all five batters have quality hitting ability. The good thing is MI play 7 matches at Wankhede, and knowing how flat Wankhede can be at times, scoring 300 runs on that pitch can’t be taken out of the equation. The only thing MI need to take care is the batting-order. Leaving Tilak after 10-12 overs isn’t a wise option. Tilak should bat at 3 or 4 at max, and the rest of the batting can take care of itself.  

#1: IPL 2025 Key Strikers for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

1. Travis Head
2. Abhishek Sharma
3. Ishan Kishan
4. Nitish Reddy
5. Heinrich Klaasen

Without a doubt, SRH are a team that ranks first when it comes to the teams that have the highest probability of scoring 300 runs in IPL 2025. The team is filled with 5 natural strikers, and compared to any team in the competition, all five batters are belligerent hitters of the cricket ball. Be it Abhishek, Head, Kishan, Nitish, or Klaasen, they know only one way of batting, and that’s hitting from ball 1. If there is one team that is built for 300 types of matches, it is the SRH team. With SRH playing in Hyderabad, and some other flat pitches, expect them to challenge 300 runs at least once in this IPL 

So, that’s about the ranking of all 10 teams basis their capability to score 300 runs in IPL 2025.
