IPL Man of the Series (Most Valuable Player): Suryakumar Yadav as MVP in IPL 2025

Following the epic victory for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against Punjab Kings (PBKS), the award distribution ceremony came to light, recognising talented cricketers who played exceptionally well. The front-runner behind the resurgence of the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) was Suryakumar Yadav, who earned the title for Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the 18th IPL edition. 

MI’s prolific batter, who is also known among fans as Sky, was awarded with the MVP in IPL 2025 for his convincing 717 runs in 16 innings at a stunning average of 65.18 and a massive strike rate of 167.91. His impressive contribution was loaded with 69 fours and 38 maximums, staying unbeaten five times, while striking early to register his highest score of 73 without losing his wicket. Suryakumar’s knocks, including 5 half-centuries, graced MI to move upward to the playoffs after falling to the bottom. 

The prestigious award for Most Valuable Player is an annual sporting event after the culmination of the IPL final match. It is a practice to appreciate the best player of the tournament for excelling in the concerned department. From the first IPL edition in 2008 to 2025, numerous Indian and overseas players have received the MVP for their valuable, game-changing, and consistent performance in the complete season.
