Top 3 players with the best strike rate before IPL 2025 suspension

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended due to the India-Pakistan tussle that has been raging at the border. With 57 games played this season, the league was heading towards its finale as far as the league engagements are concerned. Dharamshala hosted match number 58, which was played between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals. The game was eventually abandoned after 10 overs due to concerns, and on Friday, it was confirmed that the league was suspended for a week till the situation improves. 

Ever since the season began towards the end of March 2025, IPL has produced some amazing moments. Batters yet again lit the tournament with their tremendous stroke play to entertain the crowds. Abhishek Sharma scored a terrific ton while chasing a huge total against Punjab, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest centurion in T20 cricket.
