IPL 2025: A Complete List of Award Winners, Featuring Suryakumar Yadav and Sai Sudharsan

A grand season of the Indian Premier League 2025 has come to a spectacular end featuring heart-stopping finishes, breakout outings, and moments of pure cricketing artistry. Held at the largest cricket stadium in the world, Narendra Modi Stadium, the undefeated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finally clinched the title after 18 long years, defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs in the grand finale. However, away from team glory, the IPL 2025 eternally immortalized individual brilliance by doling out several prestigious awards to the top performers of the tournament.

Following is a complete list of IPL 2025 award winners, highlighting the exhilarating seasons of Suryakumar Yadav and Sai Sudharsan.

1. Most Valuable Player of the Season: Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav, popularly tagged as SKY, had an extraordinarily mesmerizing season. Representing Mumbai Indians (MI), the senior batter exhibited his exquisite 360-degree playstyle against all bowling attacks. Scoring 717 runs in 16 matches, he was an artistic scorer with high strike rate and calm temperament; he recorded five half-centuries and maintained an average of 65.18. The feat gained historical significance as SKY had become the first non-opener in IPL history to breach the 700-run mark.

Forming part of the backbone of MI‘s competitiveness, Suryakumar Yadav was not only consistent but match-winning as well, whether in his measured counterattacks or his finishing touch at the end. And this was recognized and rewarded by the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award; a reflection of his dominance through the IPL 2025.

2. Orange Cap Winner: Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan has been, all along, the shining star of the season for Gujarat Titans (GT). Only 23 years, Sai Sudharsan came out as a force to reckon with in the league’s batting charts. In the end, he did take the orange cap with a gigantic 759 runs in 15 matches, at an average of 54.21 and a strike rate of 156.17.

His Indian innings stood tall, one which saw him sizzling 108 not out and engineer a huge innings with his trademark effortless aggression. Even though GTs got knocked out early in the knockouts, Sudharsan’s big year was a hopeful call for the franchise’s future outlook.

3. Emerging Player of the Season: Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan went on performing beyond his Orange Cap laurels and was named the Emerging Player of the Season almost unanimously by virtue of a series of consistent performances including one century and six fifties throughout the season. Sudharsan was shown to have developed from a potential-going-to-make-it-to-a-led player, supplanting the contenders-Priyansh Arya and Noor Ahmad.

Sai Sudharsan, with a solid technique and fearless approach, has surely cemented his place as one of India’s next-generation batting prospects-the Emerging Player award is testament enough that he is on the upward journey in the cricketing arena.

4. Purple Cap Winner: Prasidh Krishna

The 25-wicket haul in 15 matches saw Prasidh Krishna steal the show for Rajasthan Royals with his pace and consistency, earning him the Purple Cap. With a bowling average of 19.52 and best figures of 4/41, the coming back of Prasidh from his injury was phenomenal beyond limits.

The ability to bowl in crunch moments and contain runs during the death overs made him an invaluable asset for his team. Prasidh Krishna once again proved himself to be among the very best pacers in the Indian Premier League for 2025, be it with new-ball swing or death yorkers.

5. Catch of the Season: Kamindu Mendis

Kamindu Mendis grabbed the absolute best fielding action in IPL 2025, winning the Catch of the Season award. The flying effort, taking a sure-six near the boundary line, was both amazing and stunning and left fans and commentators equally awe-struck. Mendis’s athleticism and alertness are a testimony to the growing importance of fielding excellence in the T20 format.

6. Fairplay Award: Chennai Super Kings

Known for their discipline and sports ethics, Chennai Super Kings, better known as CSK, bagged the Fairplay Award again. This award is for the team best upholding the ‘Spirit of Cricket.’ CSK lived to their reputation on and off the pitch.

7. Team Glory: Royal Challengers Bengaluru

While individual brilliance took centre stage, Royal Challengers Bengaluru after 18 years, finally lifted the coveted title for the very first time. Their victory against PBKS was a blend of collective fortitude, awesome death bowling by Josh Hazlewood, and strategic spin wizardry of Krunal Pandya.

RCB‘s journey to glory was packed with edgy wins, unexpected comebacks, and tear-jerkers-making the perfect climax for an unforgettable IPL 2025 season.
