Riyan Parag to Shubman Gill: 4 Indians to get out in nervous 90s in IPL 2025
As many as eight batters have registered scores in 90s in the ongoing IPL 2025 including four Indians who have been dismissed and missed out on their respective centuries.
The T20 format has become more fast-paced in recent years. Batters are criticised if they take time to reach personal milestones like fifties and hundreds. In an attempt to keep attacking, batters often get out in 90s. In the ongoing IPL 2025, six batters have been dismissed in nervous 90s.
1. Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill was dismissed for 90 off 55 deliveries against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 21, 2025. GT posted 198/3 and beat KKR by 39 runs at Eden Gardens.
2. On May 3, Chennai Super Kings' young opener Ayush Mhatre was dismissed for a 48-ball 94 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the unsuccessful run chase. CSK ended up losing the match by two runs.
3. On May 4, Rajasthan Royals (RR) stand-in captain Riyan Parag was dismissed for 95 from 45 balls. He smashed six consecutive sixes but it went in vain as RR lost to KKR by 2 runs.
4. On May 4, Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh scored 91 runs from 48 balls against Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamsala. PBKS posted 236/5 on the board and won the match by 37 runs.
While four batters were dismissed in 90s, four remained not out in 90s. Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer, Kolkata Knight Riders opener Quinton de Kock and Gujarat Titans' Jos Buttler remained unbeaten for 97. Also, Delhi Capitals' KL Rahul remained not out for 93.
Meanwhile, there have been four players who have managed to cross three figures this season -- Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma (141), wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan (106 not out), Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya (103) and Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi (101).
