Urvil Patel IPL 2025: CSK’s 68-run whirlwind in just 32 balls blazes strike rate 212 Chennai Super Kings’ new batting spark, Urvil Patel, announced himself in IPL 2025 with a fearless cameo that turned heads across the league. In only three innings, the Gujarat-born wicket-keeper-batter stacked up 68 runs off 32 balls, translating to a jaw-dropping strike rate of 212.50—one of the highest among debutants this season. Patel wasted no time finding the boundary, thumping five fours and six towering sixes; his 11 boundaries came at a rate of more than one every three balls faced. His highest score of 37 off 14 deliveries showcased the fearless intent CSK sought at the top. Though the sample is compact, Patel’s intent is clear: attack first, calculate later. With no half-centuries or centuries yet, the 25-year-old’s raw power-hitting DNA makes him a prime candidate for the Impact Player rule and late-order carnage in Chepauk’s spin-friendly conditions. Expect the name Urvil Patel to trend every time the Super Kings need quick runs in IPL 2025 and beyond.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
