The year 2025 has been an excellent one for Indian cricket, with several players showing strong performances across formats. The biggest highlight is that Virat Kohli finished the year as India’s top ODI run-scorer. His consistency, fitness, and experience continue to make him India’s most reliable batter in 50-over cricket. Kohli played many important innings throughout the year, helping India in chase situations and posting match-winning totals. Even after many years in international cricket, he remains one of the most trusted players in the Indian lineup.
In Test cricket, Shubman Gill finished as India’s highest run-scorer for 2025. This year was a major turning point in his red-ball career. Shubman showed solid technique, strong temperament, and the ability to play long innings. He handled pressure in tough overseas conditions and proved that he is ready to take responsibility as India’s next big Test star.
In T20 Internationals, young batter Abhishek Sharma became India’s top run-scorer of 2025. Known for his explosive batting style, Abhishek gave India fast starts in the powerplay and played several attacking knocks that changed the momentum of matches. His fearless stroke-play and ability to hit big sixes made him one of India’s most exciting short-format players this year.
On the bowling side, Kuldeep Yadav dominated across formats and became India’s No.1 bowler of 2025. His wicket-taking ability in the middle overs, clever variations, and improved accuracy helped India win several matches. Kuldeep’s performance has made him one of the world’s most dangerous spin bowlers today.
These performances show how Indian cricket is growing with a mix of legends like Kohli and rising stars like Shubman and Abhishek. With both experienced and young players performing well, India looks strong in all three formats.
As 2025 ends, fans are excited to see how these players will perform in the upcoming international calendar, ICC tournaments, and major bilateral series.
