The BPL has long been affectionately-and sometimes frustratingly-associated with low-scoring, gritty battles against challenging batting conditions (wet and sticky pitches) for years. However, in 2025, everything changed when the BPL turned into a batters’ paradise, but left bowlers stunned and fielders chasing after leather. It was almost like closing your eyes for a second would mean missing a six.
At the heart of this run-fest were five batters who didn’t just score runs; they dictated terms. They separated themselves from the pack not just by volume, but by distinct tactical approaches. From brute force to classic elegance, here is how the top five run-getters dominated the 2025 season.
Mohammad Naim: Consistency Meets Calculated Powerplay Destruction
Mohammad Naim didn’t just top the charts with 511 runs; he redefined what it means to be a Bangladeshi opener. In previous seasons, local openers were often criticized for eating up dot balls, but Naim found a lethal balance between stability and aggression.
Naim’s 42.58 batting average is great, but when you factor in a strike rate of 143.6+, that’s when you can see how much better Naim is than everyone else. When Naim made 111 off the back of his opening run of 15, you could tell that there was a real fire in the belly of Naim that we hadn’t seen before. He clearly separated himself from all of the rest of the players as the best overall player of the tournament.
Tanzid Hasan: Redefining Local Power With Six-Hitting Records
If Naim was the consistent engine, Tanzid Hasan was the turbocharger. Finishing with 485 runs, Tanzid’s separation factor was pure, unadulterated violence. He didn’t just hit boundaries; he cleared the postcode, smashing a record-breaking 36 sixes, the most by a local player in BPL history.
Tanzid represents the new era of fearless cricket. While others looked for ones and twos, Tanzid’s first instinct was to go aerial. His century (108) was a masterclass in modern power-hitting, proving that you don’t need to be an import to muscle the ball over the ropes. He set himself apart by instilling genuine fear in the bowlers every time he took guard.
Graham Clark: Sacrificing Average For Elite Strike Rate Impact
Graham Clark was the adrenaline for the Chittagong Kings. As the leading overseas run-scorer with 431 runs, he showed that speed is more important than safety. He had an overall average of 30.78, which was less than his fellow players; however, his strike rate was 153.38, which was higher than all other top five players.
Clark’s role wasn’t to anchor; it was to break the game open immediately. Fans watching the livestream on Sportslivehub were treated to his “see ball, hit ball” philosophy that often killed the contest in the first six overs. He set himself apart by playing high-variance cricket that consistently put his team ahead of the required rate, regardless of the match situation.
Tamim Iqbal: Grounded Elegance Amidst The Aerial Chaos
In a tournament obsessed with sixes, Tamim Iqbal proved that class is permanent. The veteran accumulator scored 413 runs not by slogging, but by surgically piercing the field. He hit the most fours in the tournament (51), showing that timing can be just as destructive as power.
Although Tamim’s strike rate was 129.06, which is lower than that of Clark, it was the manner in which he provided stability that made him a different asset to Fortune Barishal. His ability to absorb the pressure from his teammates allowed them to be free-swinging hitters.
Anamul Haque: Stability That Allowed Others to Flourish
Rounding out the top five, Anamul Haque (392 runs) provided the steady hand for Durbar Rajshahi. Like Tamim, Anamul focused on longevity at the crease rather than frantic hitting. His century (100) was a testament to his concentration and fitness.
I think Anamul’s job was probably the toughest; he was the backup plan. In terms of strike rate (he was at 130.67), he helped prevent the team from folding if they lost an early couple of wickets. He differentiated himself with the fact that he could take the strike when needed and punish those poor deliveries.
